The Japanese Occupation (1942 - 1945) 1st Issue

The outbreak of World War II caused serious disturbances in the Philippine monetary system. Two kinds of notes circulated in the country during this period. The Japanese Occupation Forces issued war notes in big denominations. Provinces and municipalities, on the other hand, issued their own guerrilla notes or resistance currencies, most of which were sanctioned by the Philippine government in-exile, and partially redeemed after the war.

Note* This is the first issue of Japanese Occupation Year (1942) 1Peso and 5 Pesos are not included on my collection hope that i can found them soon.




One centavo banknote issued in the Philippines during the Japanese occupation.

    I have one of every banknote that was made. two of the 5 pesos and 10 pesos. all but one are in excellent condition. the one that is in poor condition was used considerably. my great uncle was stationed in the Philippines and mailed them home to us in 1945. I do not know what year they were issued. if interested please respond to this comment.
