That's the Rizal monument in Manilla. See also this message. To the Japanese military, Rizal was a symbol of unjust, oppressive colonialism, supporting their own "co-prosperity" idea. Rizal being dead, and thereby unable to dispute that claim, came in handy too.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Peter,
Thank you for the link to the monument depicted on the note as well as the earlier discussion on the topic. Makes learning and understanding really easy.
