Remark

confusion exists about the 5 Sen issues with Japanese postage stamp, especially which ones belong to Taiwan, and which to Korea
as a simple rule, all issues with other values (1, 3, 10 & 20 Sen) belong to Taiwan, except this 5 Sen note: KOREA P-26
the only existing Korean 5 Sen note is recognizeable by a larger distance of the curved text on back above the circle

the two types of the Taiwanese 5 Sen notes have either no text on back at all (issue 1918), or a smaller distance of the curved text on back above the circle (issue 1917)
