| Comments |
Philippine municipal emergency notes of the Japanese occupation period are among the most historically specific paper money artifacts from the Pacific war. Salcedo, a municipality in Eastern Samar, was one of dozens of local governments that issued their own scrip after the Japanese military administration disrupted normal banking and the pre-war Commonwealth currency was hoarded or destroyed.
The Pick number for this note has not been formally assigned in the standard catalog, which itself reflects how incompletely documented Philippine guerrilla and municipal issues remain — many were printed in very small quantities on whatever paper was locally available, and survival rates are low.
