The world’s oldest banknote: a piece of art
What looks like a great piece of art, a mixture of stylistic forms, is in actuality the oldest surviving banknote. The Chinese were printing text centuries before Gutenberg introduced the printed book in the West. What they also printed well before such was done in Europe was banknotes. This one dates from c. 1375 and is the earliest banknote that survives today. It’s made of mulberry bark and looks kind of attractive in its simplicity. “Great Ming precious money. For circulation throughout the empire,” it reads in Chinese characters. The note measures 340x222 mm, a fist taller than an iPad. Printing money may have been innovative in the medieval world, and the result quite artistic, carrying the bills around was not particularly convenient unless you had a super-size wallet.
More information from the British Museum: this written piece and this movie.
