Comments

Kublei Khan dating system is used

"Commonly mislabelled as a pattern, this is in fact a currency issue struck in Japan for use in occupied Inner Mongolia. Due to maritime transportation problems during World War II, the shipment containing the majority of this mintage never arrived. It is believed the ship carrying nearly the entire mintage was torpedoed by allied submarines and the cargo was lost, hence very few examples of this issue have survived, with reportedly only about 12 examples known."
