wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/03/2010 9:19 pm Both 50s are 50 sen (1 sen = 1/100 of a Japanese Yen) notes issued by the Japanese government during WWII. The first one was issued in I think 1938 (P58) and the other one was issued in 1943 (P59). The Philipine note is a "silver certificate" issued by the US when the Philippines was a US colony. You have a Victory series note! Which means this was issued after the liberation of the Philippines in 1944 from the Japanese. These notes are all from the war! May I ask if anyone in your family served in the Pacific Theatre during the war? Report this Post to the Staff
