Meng Chiang (Inner Mongolia). Japanese Occupation aluminum Pattern Chiao Year 738 (1943) AU Details (Cleaned) PCGS, KM-Pn3. A rare example of this Japanese occupation type, which derives from a scarce series also including a Fen and a 5 Fen pattern, this being the largest denomination of the three. Most original detail remains, with a couple of instances of what appear as die breaks, unusual for pattern issue, though definitely not the result of post-strike damage, as those portions are raised rather than incuse.
