| Comments |
The Mountain Province guerrilla notes are among the more carefully documented Philippine emergency issues of the Japanese occupation. The Provincial Board of the Mountain Province — centered in Bontoc — operated with unusual administrative continuity during the occupation, which is why its currency program was organized enough to produce multiple denominations with distinguishable design variants. The "Large heading" designation for this Pick S596 separates it from a parallel 2 Pesos issue where the provincial title appears in smaller type — a distinction that matters for attribution and is easy to overlook on worn examples.
