1938 Meng Chiang (Japanese Puppet State in China) 5 Chiao Y-521 Grades Select Unc. In April 1934, the Chinese government recognized the autonomy of Inner Mongolia. Japan, which controlled part of the territory of Inner Mongolia at that time, provoked separatist speeches in 1935–1936. In 1937, paper currency began being distributed by the "Provincial Bank of Three Eastern Provinces" in this region, and this 5-jiao coin was issued in 1938. This coin represents a very historically interesting yet relatively obscure part of WWII numismatic history. Few have beeen seen in uncirculated grades.
