| Comments |
Philippine emergency and guerrilla currency from the Japanese occupation period is well-documented as a category, but municipal-level issues from small Visayan towns like Maribojoc — a coastal municipality in Bohol — are among the most obscure pieces in the entire Philippine emergency note series. The Currency Board authority was a wartime local government mechanism, not a banking institution, which meant these notes circulated on communal trust alone within a very limited geographic area.
Bohol saw relatively limited direct Japanese military presence compared to Cebu or Leyte, which likely helped small denominations like this actually function as daily transaction currency rather than emergency scrip that went unspent.
