Hey Numista. I got these bank notes included as extras with a foreign coin lot I bought. What do you guys think of them? Pretty cool, but some of them are in well circulated condition. I was perhaps looking to learn a little bit more about these if anyone know anything about them!
Hello,
first note is mexican.
Second, third and sixth notes are interesting, never heard about a japanese peso, start looking on the japanese-occupied territories.
Fourth, fifth and seventh notes are japanese and I can assure that are from before WWII because of the low value (10 and 50 sen, a subdivision of yen extinct in 1948 due to inflation, and 10 yen). The fifth note have a date on the left - Showa 13 (late 1930's or early 1940's). Got 2 notes from that time, they're beautiful.
Others may give better explanations. Nice find anyways.
The Japanese Government banknotes are from the occupation of various Pacific countries during WWII. The peso and centavo banknotes are from the Philippines. There are also similar banknotes for Burma, Malaysia, Netherlands Indies, and Oceania.
