Block Number: 72 (Visible in the top right and bottom left corners).
Notable Feature: Certification Stamp (証紙付). The small red stamp applied to the right side is a validation mark used during the 1946 post-WWII "New Yen" currency switchover.
Description Tip: Calling out the "証紙付" (with certification stamp) is highly recommended for numismatic buyers. It acts as a specific historical marker for Japan's post-war inflation control measures and distinguishes it from unstamped 1945 issues.
