Finally found this last coin that I took a while to find - 1933 5 fen. Unusually difficult to find for some reason - Manchukuo coins in general seem to be getting wiped out from the market fast and furious.

This is the last coin that I needed - probably paid silly money for it but I just wanted to fill this hole.

The rest of my Manchukuo collection can be found here in album format:

The rest of the holes seem to be amazingly difficult to be filled especially the smallest denomination 5 li. If you have any spares that can fill the holes and are willing to let go of them, please let me know.

Some sort of significant effort involved there - congratulations!
How long did it take you get them, and where did you get them from?

Took me two years to complete this set. It's definitely one of those easier said than done. Catalog value for these coins in Krause or JNDA are just out of whack - the supply is just not out there sel!

I've bought coins practically everywhere - US, Japan, China, Australia, UK and so forth. I'm actually quite gobsmacked to see how hard this set was considering the catalog value for this was quite low. This set has gone through a couple of upgrades and yet you can tell they are not the best.

I'm still missing a couple of aluminum 5 fen coins but I haven't seen them for sale for a while. Shows how difficult they are.
