5 Shi Jin - china 1980 Henan Province Fine Grain Coupon - Hebi City

This is a Chinese fine grain coupon (liangpiao) issued in 1980 for Henan Province, specifically stamped or designated for use in Hebi City (鹤壁市). Unlike the previous coupon for coarse grains, this one is for fine grain (xi liang), which typically authorized the purchase of premium staples like wheat flour or rice. The face value is 5 Shi Jin (伍市斤), equivalent to approximately 2.5 kilograms (5.5 lbs). The artwork prominently features a socialist-era illustration of a worker or soldier with a rifle alongside an agricultural harvester, symbolizing defense and production.
