The Philippine National Bank emergency notes of 1941 were authorized as the Japanese invasion made normal banking operations impossible. This series was issued under extreme duress, with branches printing their own emergency currency to keep commerce functioning as the colonial financial system collapsed around them. The PNB had been the primary fiscal arm of the Commonwealth government, and these notes were a last-ditch measure to maintain liquidity in the field.
The "S" prefix in the Pick number denotes provisional or emergency status — these circulated alongside regular Commonwealth issues but were never intended as permanent currency. Many were destroyed or abandoned during the Japanese occupation.
