TOKENS: MALAYAN JAPANESE INVASION TOKENS.

Malayan Japanese Invasion (1941-1945) Aluminium Tokens.

These are the Aluminium Tokens that I had collected from a old numismatist.He told me these aluminium tokens were used in Malaysia during the Japanese occupation (1941-1945).But he cannot recalls what are purpose or usage of these tokens.

  1. Wow, first time seeing these type of tokens.
    We feel very lucky that these "could be very rare heritage items" are in safe hands in the country.
    Thanks a lot for bringing them to our knowledge.
    Hoping to know more :D

  3. Hi Mr Dickson,
    Depankanta berpendapat token ini hanyak dibuat untuk kegunaan kelompok yg kecil sahaja.Cara dibuat pula hanya dengan tempaan tangan.Mungkin dengan memahami tulisan jepun yg ada itu kita boleh mengetahui tujuan dan asal usul token ini..Ini hanya pendapat depankanta saja..hehe
    Terima kasih banyak2 Mr Dickson..

  4. Hi depankanta,
    Pendapat saya ialah Planchet/blank nya dan perkataan "MEIJI GATE" dan "BAHASA JEPUN GATE" dibuat dan ditempa memakai mesin, hanya numbor siri yang ditempa secara manual.
