Manchoukuo / Manchukuo was a Japanese puppet-state in Manchuria, China from 1932-1945.
Due to wartime shortages and inflationary pressures, in 1944 and 1945 Manchukuo issued 1 and 5 Fen coins made of what the "Standard Catalog of World Coins" describes as "red or brown fiber", resembling cardboard. These are a rare example of non-metallic circulating legal tender coins.
5 Fen coins from year 12 (1945) is considered a rare date.

======================================
COMBINED POSTAGE:
USA: flat $5 fee per package, no additional postage for additional coins.
Worldwide:
charged at actual cost (though eBay) per package, price should be the
same or nearly the same no matter how many coins.
30 day returns.
All coins unconditionally guaranteed genuine
without time limit.
Do not pay until it is time to ship: If you think you might buy additional items within
the next week, you should pay when you are done with all of your
purchases. In order to maintain a preferred commission schedule, eBay expects me to ship items within one day of receiving
payment. When I receive payment I ship as soon as possible.
Ebay
may not automatically apply combined postage. I will send invoices
when needed. If I don't, just ask for an invoice with combined
postage. If you pay for your items without the combined postage, I can just
refund the extra.
INTERNATIONAL
CUSTOMERS, PLEASE NOTE: Direct international shipping
is calculated by eBay at actual cost. In general, the price for an international
package is around
$16. It may cost a lot less for people in other countries to send
the same package to me, but that is my cost from where I am. There may
also be a problem with with eBay combining postage when buying multiple
coins. Postage to most international locations should be the same for
one coin or multiple coins. It doesn't matter how many coins in the
shipment, the postage should be pretty much the same as for one coin.
If
it is significantly higher, then ask for an invoice with combined
postage and I will provide one.
