Known as the Greater Easter Asia War to the Japanese, the Imperial Government issued war bonds during WWII to fund its war effort. Features fantastic vignettes of a ship on the left and tank on the right.
Per Nambu World Museum Institute:
The bond sold for 7 yen in 1942 and paid 10 yen in 1952. "The black writing in the centre at the top reads from right to left: dai-nip-pon-tei-koku-sei-fu, Government of Greater Japan. The next line down says dai-to-a-sen-so-wari-biki-kok-ko-sai-ken, Greater East Asia War Discount National Treasury Bond. The third line with two characters says ju-en, ten yen. The fine print in the middle is about how to redeem the bond when it matures. The three lines at the bottom give the issue date and price and the maturity date. The single column of four characters above the red seal says O-kura-dai-jin, or Minister of Finance, which is repeated in the seal itself. At the left there is a battleship and an airplane. On the right, a tank with artillery and anti-aircraft listening horns in the background along with a Type 11 light machine gun, shingunto military sword, pick and shovel in the foreground. The three red characters above the tank say “Third Series”. The white characters on a red background in the top right say yu-bin-kyoku-bai-shutsu, “Sold by the Post Office”. The tiny white writing in the cente of the bottom says nai-kaku-in-satsu-kyoku-sei-zo, “Made by the Cabinet Printing Department”. The characters in the lower right and left say ju, “ten”.
