One more to add to the Japanese occupation of the Phillipines collection & this one is handstamped JAPWANCAP a first for me :smile. It stands for 'JAPANESE WAR NOTES CLAIMANT ASSOCIATION of the PHILIPPINES' an organisation who initially had hoped that with the reparations from Japan that they could trade these funds in for new money. When this failed the association sued the American Government for some hard currency in exchange for these JIM. But as this too was not successful. At least 8 different counterstamps have been identified with a number of sub-varieties & a few with ink color varieties Japanese Occupation of the Phillipines $500 1944/45 Brown Handstamped JAPWANCAP Front Rizal monument Rev Value in Fancy scrollwork Series 3 To view the note just follow the link in my sig :hail:
