CHINA. Inner Mongolia. Meng Chiang. Chiao (10 Cents), Year 738 (1943). PCGS MS-62 Secure Holder.
KM-Pn3. Struck in aluminum. Commonly mislabeled 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 submarines. Since the cargo was lost, very few examples of this issue have survived. VERY RARE and historically significant. Bold strike with soft satin luster. PCGS MS-62 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
