Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Fen coin from Manchukuo is that it features a portrait of Puyi, the last emperor of China, who was installed as the puppet ruler of Manchukuo by the Japanese occupying forces in 1932. Puyi's reign was marked by controversy and turmoil, and his collaboration with the Japanese occupiers has been widely criticized. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the complex history of China and Japan during World War II.
