Up for your consideration is this 1934-1939 China Bronze VF/XF 1 Fen Japanese Puppet State Manchoukuo random year coin. THESE ARE VERY LIMITED COINS SO GET YOURS NOW WHILE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE!
Manchukuo, Chinese Manzhouguo, puppet state created in 1932 by Japan out of the three historic provinces of Manchuria (northeastern China). After the Russo-Japanese War (1904–05), Japan gained control of the Russian-built South Manchurian Railway, and its army established a presence in the region; expansion there was
seen as necessary for Japan's status as an emerging world power.
In 1931
the Japanese army created an excuse to attack Chinese troops there, and
in 1932 Manchukuo was proclaimed an "independent" state. The last Qing emperor was brought out of retirement and made Manchukuo's ruler, but
the state was actually rigidly controlled by the Japanese, who used it
as their base for expansion into Asia. An underground guerrilla movement
composed of Manchurian soldiers, armed civilians, and Chinese
communists opposed the occupying Japanese, many of whom had come over to
settle in the new colony. After Japan's defeat in 1945 the settlers
were repatriated.
At the end of World War I, Japan had designs of world domination and
they pushed in to China in an attempt to control the entire Asiatic
region. While there, they minted these coins with a single flag pattern.
There are many Chinese coins with two crossed flags, but this one has a
single flag.
The flag of the now-defunct Empire Of Manchukuo had a mustard yellow field with four horizontal stripes of different
colors in the upper-left corner. The colors of the flag were based on
the colors on the Five Races Under One Union flags used by the Beijing-based Beiyang government and the Empire of China. The flag is also similar to the flag used by the Fengtian clique.
The colors on the flag represent the following:
Yellow represents the Manchu people and unity.
Red represents the Japanese people and bravery.
Blue represents the Han Chinese and justice.
White represents the Mongol people and purity.
Black represents the Korean people and determination.
