Philippines › Negros Oriental, 1 Peso (1943) Old Issue Rare Note #B2

This is a fascinating piece of Philippine numismatic history—a 1 Peso local banknote issued by the Province of Negros Oriental in 1943, during a pivotal moment in the nation's past. Measuring 108 × 67.5 mm and printed on paper, this rare note represents emergency currency circulated during World War II when standard monetary systems were disrupted. As a local provincial issue from the Island of Negros, it carries significant historical weight and scarcity that appeals to serious collectors of Asian currency, WWII memorabilia, and Philippine heritage. The 1943 date makes it an authentic artifact from the Japanese occupation era, documenting the resourcefulness of local governments during wartime. Collectors prize these provincial notes for their rarity—few examples survive in good condition. This particular specimen is a compelling addition to any numismatic collection, combining historical significance with genuine scarcity that only increases its appeal over time.
