Wow, nice 54s. Wonder how that set got put together. Some BoC official must've plucked them off the presses, you'd never assemble something that awesome from circulation or even from a bank. Either way, congrats on picking them up!!
Thanks William. This set was kept in Singapore for a long time. No foxing. All in perfect condition. Interestingly, Canadian collectors were wondering where are all the $100 solids. Only 4 pieces surface in the public including mine. According to a Canadian collector, there should be 19 pieces of $100 solids. Nobody know how many exist in collectors' hands or how many survive the circulation. An earlier $100 piece also came from Singapore and was put up in an auction.

S.A. Nice notes especially the Canadian one.

The 2001 (yes, rather outmoded) Charlton lists the following suggested values for solid serial number 54 series:
$1... 400
$2... 450
$5... 500
$10... 550
$20... 600
$50... 700
$100... 800
Current catalog price are all above $1k CDN. Only 4 pieces ( including 5555555 ) of $100 solid ( 1s, 2s, 5s and 7s ) appeared in the public. Market price for $100 can go up to 10K CDN or more

Thanks Saor Alba, Dave. This set has missing denomination - $1000 ( can forgot about it coz it will be an impossible task to find one with a solid ), $10 ( There is still hope), $50 ( Must be very patient ). I was first attracted to this set by the $100 solid. According to the Canadian forum, there seems to be only 3 or 4 solids known $100 denomination. I wonder how true is that. Moreover, the Canadian Charlton catalog do not list down the market price of the $100. That was what I was told.. Anyone here have the latest Canadian Charlton catalog to check on the 1954 $100 pricing and if possible check on the rest of the denomination as well ? Thanks.

So their names were Stephen and Stitt. I shall work harder to complete a solid 5s type set.
So far, these are the two pieces acquired for the type set.

I am sorry, but the portrait of the Manchukuo note shows the god of fortune, 趙公明 = Zhao Gong Ming.
In the book "AN ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE OF THE FINANCE AND CURRENCIES OF THE PUPPET REGHIMES IN CHINA UNDER THE JAPANESE - MANCHUKUO VOLUME" (Chinese and English) by Wong Hon Sum all these notes and their history are described in detail.
Other portraits are of Confucius and Mencius.

P.S.: I know that in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money it is said, that "Ch'ien Lung' is pictured on the note, a remark that was taken from Fred Schwan's and Joe Boling's famous book "World War II Remembered", but it is wrong...
I think I will get the book written by Mr. Wong who is NSA chairman ( I joined as NSA life member two to three months ago ). I didn't know it was also written in English as well. Thanks chinnotes.

See - your note is from a Japanese Puppet Bank set up in China during WWII. Your note is P J137 issued in 1944, and it has a similar cousin (with a different back) which is P J132. The Emperor depicted on teh front is Emperor Ch'ien Lung, the longest reigning emperor in China: Wikipedia Link
Nice note! I haven't seen many from this series.
Thanks Dave.

Found this in a pile of notes in a local numismatic shop. As usual, I was attracted by the serial number. Need more info.
