The 1918 Philippine Islands Treasury Certificate series was a direct consequence of the Jones Act of 1916, which reorganized the colonial government and created the conditions under which the Philippines could issue its own currency distinct from the previous Silver Certificates. Harrison was Governor-General at the time, his signature a political as much as a financial fixture across the series. The dual signature variants — Fitzsimmons then Carmona as Treasurer — reflect normal staff turnover, though Carmona's tenure produced the more commonly encountered examples.
BEP production kept quality consistent, but the red seal combined with green underprint on this denomination makes it visually distinct within the P#60 type. Earlier printings in the series had used different color configurations.
