Collector Commentary

This large collection of pre-war Japanese banknotes showcases historical significance, particularly with notes featuring Itagaki Taisuke and Prince Shotoku, both pivotal figures in Japan's modernization.

Collectors of historical currency particularly value military notes and those from the early Republic of China for their rarity and storytelling potential, adding depth to any collection.

The varied condition of the notes, ranging from pristine to heavily worn, reflects typical patterns found in antique collecting, where quality significantly impacts value.

With an opening bid of ¥25,000, this assortment offers a compelling entry point into a specialized segment of Japanese historical currency collecting, appealing especially to those focused on the authenticity and provenance of early 20th-century items.
