About this Note

The original Japanese Invasion Money for Oceania was intended for use in territories such as New Britain and Papua New Guinea. The 10 Shilling note in particular does not appear to have been prepared as a replica, due to its relative scarcity. This note offers a unique glimpse into WWII history and is considered a less common find than other notes in the series.
