Early in 1932 the Japanese declared Manchuria independant based upon a voluntary separatist movement and named the new puppet state Manchukuo. To give the puppet government a bit of legitimacy the Japanese eventually restored the former (and last) emperor of the Manchu Dynasty in China. k'ang Te, better known as P'u-Yi (or Hsuan T'ung, Emp. 1909 - 1911).
This coin type was issued under two Year/date methods, TT for puppet ruler Ta T'ung (1932 -1934) and KT for K'ang Te (P'u Yi, 1934 - 1945).
