Description: Burma Japanese Government One Cent Bank Note - 1942 Japan Occupation, Myanmar. My Father served in Burma in WWII in the 7th Light Cavalry based in India. He brought this money home with him. It has been in the family for 80 years but it would be good for it to go to a collector or someone who will make use of it. The money came home in his wallet but it looks as though none of it was used. It is clean, pressed and unfolder and although a little yellowed from age, in beautiful condition. All the money that I am selling is of the same quality. This comes from a Pet and Smoke Free Home and will be posted 2nd Class. Happy to combine postage for Multiple Purchases. Thanks for looking. Price listed is for one banknote.
