Marked 純銀 - pure silver.

Concordia Association/協和会 was a political party in Manchukuo. Established to promote the ideals of Pan-Asianism and the creation of a multi-ethnic nation-state and to create a structure which would gradually replace military rule over Manchukuo with civilian control, the party was unable to fulfill its promise, and was eventually subverted into an instrument of totalitarian state-control by the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Mantan/満炭 (abbreviation of the 満洲炭礦株式会社/Manshū Tankō Kabushikigaisha/Manchuria Coal Mining Company) was a special corporation established in 1934 under the jurisdiction of Manchukuo. It was solely responsible for the unified development and management of coal resources within Manchukuo.​
