| Opmerkingen |
Hilongos is a municipality on the western coast of Leyte, and like dozens of Filipino local governments during the Japanese occupation, it issued its own emergency currency when the occupation-era military pesos failed to inspire public confidence. These municipal guerrilla notes — sometimes called "emergency circulating notes" — were produced under extraordinarily improvised conditions, often on whatever paper stock was locally available.
Provenance and print runs for Hilongos issues are essentially unrecorded. Survival is a function of luck, not design.
