<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 1689120, member: 4703&quot;]Your first Japanese note is No. 11-53 in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn. catalog, described as &quot;Third Sugahara&quot;, indicating that it is the third Bank of Japan 5 yen note depicting Ninth Century&nbsp; court scholar, poet, and political figure Sugawara no Michizane 菅原道真.&nbsp; It was issued on December 15, 1943, and circulated until March 2, 1946, according to the JNDA.&nbsp; Another source gives its issue date as January 6, 1942.&nbsp; Although the JNDA valuation in the condition shown is in the $300 range, one in fairly similar condition sold on EBay last month for $12.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next one is a 10 yen Bank of Japan &quot;Third Wake&quot; (Wa-kay), the third monetary depiction of Wake no Kiyomaro 和気清麻呂, an Eighth Century politician and Buddhist religious leader.&nbsp; It circulated from November 20, 1944 to March 2, 1946,&nbsp;&nbsp; In the condition shown it has a JNDA valuation of about $5.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t found any on-line records for recent sales of this note. </p><p><br /></p><p>Germany, not Japan, invaded the Netherlands during WW II.&nbsp; Your invasion notes are from the occupied colony known as the Dutch East Indies (basically today&#039;s Indonesia).&nbsp; Both have the legend &quot;Japanese Government Pay to Bearer&quot;.&nbsp; The JNDA Nos. are 13-59 for the one guilden and 13-60 for the half, in the category &quot;Notes of the Pacific War&quot;.&nbsp; Both were issued in 1942.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
