The Jagna Change Board was one of dozens of municipal and provincial emergency currency issuers that sprang up across the Philippines during the Japanese occupation. When Japanese Military Administration notes flooded the islands and small-denomination coinage disappeared from circulation, local governments — sometimes down to the municipality level — printed their own fractional emergency scrip to keep markets functioning. Jagna is a municipality on the southern coast of Bohol island.

These hyper-local issues were produced in tiny quantities with whatever printing resources were available. Most were redeemed or simply discarded after liberation, making any survivor genuinely uncommon.
