Nueva Vizcaya's wartime emergency currency was issued under Japanese occupation after the fall of the Philippines in early 1942 severed normal banking operations across the archipelago. MacArthur's Commonwealth government had authorized provincial treasuries to print their own scrip to keep local economies functioning — Nueva Vizcaya was among the smaller, more remote mountain provinces to do so, which makes its issues considerably scarcer than those of the larger lowland provinces.
Delfino Quirino, who signed as Provincial Supervisor, was a brother of Elpidio Quirino, later the sixth President of the Philippines — a family connection that adds biographical interest to an otherwise modest provincial document.
