What semilegendary empress made it onto a banknote?
Answer Empress Jingu
Much of Jingu's story is fiction, not fact, which makes her status in Japanese myth all the more intriguing. She is said to have possessed a pair of jewels that held divine power over the tides. What seems likely is that she established Japanese rule over Korea. If that was without bloodshed, as they say, then that really is something worthy of a banknote.
