3 Shi Jin - china 1980 Hebei Province Grain Coupon

This is a Chinese grain coupon (liangpiao) issued in 1980 by the Hebei Province authorities. The coupon has a face value of 3 Shi Jin (叁市斤), which is equivalent to approximately 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lbs) of staple food. Unlike the previous examples, it is a general grain coupon (liangpiao) rather than being strictly specified for coarse or fine grain, giving the bearer broader purchasing options within the province's rationing system. The design features a scenic illustration of a large-scale industrial bridge or dam infrastructure project, reflecting socialist development themes of the era.
