The following issues were struck at the Osaka Mint for
use in the Netherlands East Indies. The only inscription found
on them is Dai Nippon: Great Japan. The war situation had
worsened to the point that shipping the coins became virtually
impossible. Consequently, none of these coins were issued in
the East Indies and almost the entire issue was lost or were
remelted at the mint. Y numbers are for the Netherlands Indies
and dates are from the Japanese Shinto dynastic calendar.
