The Negros Emergency Currency Board was one of several provincial guerrilla currency authorities that issued notes during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Negros Occidental maintained unusually organized resistance, and its emergency issues were backed by local commodities — principally sugar — rather than any central reserve, an arrangement that gave the notes real transactional credibility among the island's population during 1942–1945.

The S683 belongs to the final phase of these issues, dated 1945, by which point American forces had returned and the notes were approaching the end of their operational life. Philippine Commonwealth authorities later redeemed many guerrilla issues, though the terms and completeness of redemption varied considerably by series.
