Help ! Old Chinese Banknotes

Hi guys,

Is this likely genuine, a remainder, or a reproduction?

I took photographs using a powerful magnifying glass and a microscope.

Do those yellow, green and red dots automatically condemn the banknotes as reproductions? Can they still have value if they are reproductions?

I have a headache from searching for so much information, and I don’t know what else to do.

Appreciate a lot your answers.

The paper for the 2nd one looks quite fake… does it feel rough or not on hand?

As for the mutli-coloured markings, for some ROC notes it can be for anti-counterfeiting. But yours looks like a Qing type?

When I hold the banknotes in my hand, the paper does not feel like ordinary paper. It is slightly cardboard-like, it does not fold easily, and it has a specific old smell.

When I run my finger over the banknote, there are areas where I can feel a slight relief, especially on the serial number and on the drawings/ornaments.

However, I am worried about all those dots that I saw under the microscope. On the edges of the banknote, the dots are yellow, and on the banknote itself there are yellow,green and red dots. I did not see those dots on the drawings, ornaments, or writing.

Could you please help me with an opinion?
