Philippines › Bohol, 50 Centavos (1942) Old Issue Rare Note #B2

This exceptional 1942 Philippine 50 Centavos note represents a significant piece of wartime numismatic history. Issued by the Province of Bohol’s Emergency Currency Board during the Japanese occupation, this local banknote captures a pivotal moment in Philippine history. As an emergency currency, it holds particular appeal for collectors interested in WWII-era artifacts and regional Philippine numismatics. The note’s rarity stems from its limited production run and historical context—emergency notes issued during occupation are seldom preserved in collectible condition. This specimen exemplifies the resourcefulness of provincial governments during wartime constraints. Ideal for serious numismatists and Philippine history enthusiasts, this note offers both historical significance and genuine scarcity. Its condition and provenance make it a standout addition to any World War II or Asian currency collection.
