The Philippine National Bank was established in 1916 partly to break the American colonial administration's dependence on foreign financial institutions, and this 1917 issue was among the earliest notes the bank produced. Unusually for the period, printing was handled locally in Manila rather than contracted to a metropolitan American security printer — a deliberate political choice by the PNB's first administration to demonstrate institutional self-sufficiency.
The 1 Peso denomination circulated heavily during the First World War years, when silver coin shortages created genuine demand for small-denomination paper. Surviving examples in any decent state are harder to find than the low face value might suggest.
