| Comments |
The Negros Emergency Currency Board was one of several provincial emergency currency authorities operating in the Philippines under Japanese occupation. These notes were issued to keep local economies functioning after the Japanese military administration suppressed or replaced pre-war Philippine Commonwealth currency. Negros, divided between Occidental and Oriental provinces, maintained a degree of organized guerrilla resistance, and emergency currency issues like this one were tied directly to that resistance infrastructure — not to any collaborationist body.
The green seal variant is a known distinguishing feature within the S674 series, likely indicating a specific issuance tranche or authorization batch rather than a printing run distinction.
