Historical Structure Series Issued on 1952 (Showa27) - 1953 (Showa28) After the war, Okinawa had no currency until the middle of 1946, and bartering was the main focus. After that, in order to prevent inflation due to the inflow of the Japanese yen, a B-yen economic zone was established with the B-type military vote (B-yen) issued by the US military government as the currency. Even so, postwar inflation was fierce, and the price of regular stamps issued in 1948 (Showa 23) was raised. Eight kinds of stamps were issued, and a historical building unique to Okinawa was designed.
