Owner's Description
Obverse: Shotoku-taishi on right, Yumedono pavilion on left, stamped red (??) hi-mon translated to “Specimen”.on left and right. 4 red overprinted Japanese characters at center (????) roughly translated to Army Use Hand Ticket...also know as “Japanese Military Yen”. During the Pacific War period, the Japanese government excessively issued these type of notes. to all of its occupied territories. During the war, the military yen was also forced upon the local population as the official currency of the occupied territory. Since the military yen was not backed by gold, and did not have a specific place of issuance, the military yen could not be exchanged for Japanese Yen. Forcing local populations to use the military yen officially was one of the ways the Japanese government could dominate the local economies.
