Who wrote these big characters of China People's Bank?

Since the 1950s, the words "People's Bank of China" written by Ma Wenwei have not only appeared in all editions of RMB since the second set of RMB, but also been widely used in the institutional doorplates of people's banks at all levels.

So far, the People's Bank of China has issued five sets of RMB. Many people may not have thought that the People's Bank of China issued the first set of RMB, specifically, 1948 12 1, long before the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of New China, the People's Bank of China successively issued the second to fifth sets of RMB 1955, 1962, 1987 and 1999. Since the second set of RMB, the calligraphy of "China People's Bank" has been used to this day. The second set of RMB denomination "People's Bank of China" combines rigidity and softness, is vigorous and mellow, dignified and dexterous, and is known as a contemporary calligraphy boutique.

Ma Wenwei's handwriting should be "People's Bank of China" and "One, Two, Three, Five, Pick, Circle, Angle, Minute" and year number, with *** 19 characters. 1956, the first batch of simplified characters appeared, in which the words "Guo" and "Yin" were simplified to "Guo" and "Yin". The head office sent a letter to Mr. Ma to rewrite it, but Ma was 80 years old and ill at that time, so it was difficult to get a pen. Finally, this task fell to the experts of Beijing Banknote Printing Factory. They copied the horse's handwriting carefully.
