Description from the seller
◆軍用手票 Gun You Shu Hyou (Military Currency)
Military currency were issued by the government to cover the costs of procuring supplies and paying salaries of troops stationed in occupied territories. The use of the home currency in the occupied territories was expected to have the effect of separating the home and occupied economies, since the use of the home currency in the occupied territories would increase the overall amount of the home currency and risk causing inflation in the home country.
◆聖徳太子 Shōtoku Taishi / 百園 Hyaku-yen
Prince Shōtoku was a figure who, during the Asuka period about 1,400 years ago, assisted Empress Suiko in governing the country and established a new system of government for Japan. He created a system in which official ranks were determined not only by family lineage but also by individual talent and merit. To this day, legend has it that he possessed the ability to understand what ten people were saying at the same time.
Rare and scarce Meiji-era “10-sen” notes and “Military Currency.”
High-denomination Showa-era “Prince Shōtoku” banknotes
Both are excellent additions to any collection.
Carefully packaged and shipped from Japan to overseas.
