1919 RUSSIA 50 KOPEKS SHIMADA NOTE
Here's another unusual note from Neil Shafer's "Money of the People" collection being auctioned by Lyn Knight.
-Editor
112 x 72 mm; imprint states Yamamoto in Tokyo. Shimada and flag; printed on soft paper. Shimada was a Japanese store owner in Nikolaevsk on Amur, a town near Khabarovsk in Siberia. Japanese interventionist forces were part of the attempt to dislodge Bolsheviks from the area. Japan retained occupation forces even after others had left in 1920. Some merchants found a need to issue their own money, as did Shimada. Such issues are now extremely difficult. We are pleased to offer a complete set of three denominations. The present example is a well preserved original in lovely condition. Good color. Neil Shafer adds: Lot 5628 is a rare issue from a Japanese-owned store, this time in Russia. Such issues have proven to be extremely difficult to locate, I don't believe I have seen any such pieces offered in the last 15 years at least.
