Ten Dollars Japanese Currency

Description

Issued by the Japanese during their occupation of Malaya between 1942 and 1945. The front of this rare note features a tree bearing fruit, with the obverse featuring a depiction of a ship on the horizon.

Banana money was also used as an informal term given to a type of currency issued by Imperial Japan during the Japanese occupation of Singapore, Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak and Brunei, and was named as such because of the motifs of banana trees on 10 dollar banknotes.
