Tucked into one of the letters home following the occupation of Okinawa, I found a wad of Imperial bills. They are pretty nifty, I must say.
Imperial Japanese currency (front); one
Imperial Japanese currency (back); one
The duplicates are of particular interest because you can see the level of variation in the bills from lack of quality control on production. Colors vary in saturation and the image is placed inconsistently on the paper.
Imperial Japanese currency (front); five
Imperial Japanese currency (back); five
Imperial Japanese currency (front); five
Imperial Japanese currency (back); five
Imperial Japanese currency (front); ten
Imperial Japanese currency (back); ten
Imperial Japanese currency (front); ten
Imperial Japanese currency (back); ten
Imperial Japanese currency (front); fifty
Imperial Japanese currency (back); fifty
I really like the Samurai detail.
