Far Eastern Timber Company, Russia / Siberia, 5 yen, Taisho Year 11 (1922), serial number 258, printed by Toppan Printing Factory, reverse text "denominations of 50 sen, 1 and 5 yen issued",
pinholes, minor stain, minor paper damage, very fine. Was issued during the "Japanese Siberian Intervention", where they had over 72,000 troops in the area. Which meant the region's rich natural resources like timber, coal and fish were exported to Japan on a massive scale. Therefore this was likely issued for internal use for Japanese workers in the timber company. Very rare and interesting


大正十一年極東林業組合（俄羅斯/西伯利亞）五圓，編號258，凸版印刷株式會社印行印，背面文字「本券種類發行五圓，壹圓，五拾錢」。 有針孔、輕微污漬和輕微紙張損傷，VF品相。發行於「日本干涉西伯利亞」時期，當時日本在該地區駐紮了超過72,000名士兵。這意味著該地區豐富的自然資源，如木材、煤炭和魚類，被大規模出口到日本。因此，這鈔很可能是為木材公司內部的日本工人發行的。非常罕見且特別。
