The 1000 Piso note is the highest denomination in regular Philippine circulation and has carried that role through successive redesigns since the New Design Series launched in 1985. The 2009 date places this within the New Generation Currency series rollout period, though the NGC notes weren't formally introduced until 2010 — making this transitional-era stock worth noting for collectors tracking the changeover.
BSP's Security Plant Complex has handled domestic production since 1978, one of relatively few central banks in Southeast Asia to print its own currency entirely in-house rather than contracting to De La Rue or similar foreign security printers.
