正面铭文 THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT PROMISES TO PAY THE BEARER ON DEMAND FIVE DOLLARS 大日本帝國政府
背面描述 The unilingual reverse is printed entirely in purple-brown and relies entirely on lathe-work ornamentation. A large central oval guilloche medallion carries the numeral '5' in bold relief, flanked symmetrically by two rosette-style guilloche roundels each also bearing the numeral '5'; scrollwork corner pieces and a fine engine-turned border complete the design, with no textual inscription.

备注

The informal name "banana money" came not from any design element but from the banana tree plantations that the Japanese military promised Malayan and Singaporean civilians as compensation for the scrip's inevitable worthlessness — a promise no one believed. The currency was issued without serial numbers on most denominations, which was a deliberate decision allowing unlimited and untracked overprinting. Inflation followed predictably.

By 1945, a bag of rice cost thousands of dollars in this currency. The collapse was total enough that the British Military Administration, returning after surrender, refused to honor it at any rate of exchange.
