The "Bagong Lipunan" (New Society) series was Marcos's post-proclamation currency, introduced after martial law in 1972 to reinforce the regime's ideological rebranding of the Philippine state. By the time Seal Type 4 notes entered circulation, Marcos had cycled through two Bangko Sentral governors — Gregorio Licaros, then Jaime Laya — producing three distinct signature combinations within the same type designation, which accounts for the multiple serial number color variants collectors encounter.
G&D's Munich operation is more commonly cited for Philippine work of this period; Leipzig production is worth noting on the catalog record.
