Korean yen
[2] The banknotes issued by the Bank of Korea were only very slightly modified from the earlier Dai-Ichi Bank banknotes that had circulated in Korea, this was done to reduce any possible confusion during the transition period.[2] The name of the Bank of Korea was inserted and the royal plum crest of Korea replaced Dai-Ichi Bank's 10-pointed star emblem, and the reverse sides of the 1 yen banknotes changed colour, but all the overall the changes were minute.1000 yen was printed but never issued at the end of World War II.The earlier issues were redeemable "in Gold or Nippon Ginko Note".The image of an old man on the currency is probably an allegorical representation of longevity possibly based on Kim Yun-sik[2]
