| Opmerkingen |
Negros Occidental was one of several Philippine provinces that issued its own emergency currency after the Japanese occupation severed normal banking and supply lines in late 1941 and early 1942. The Provincial Currency Committee operated with whatever materials and equipment were locally available — in this case, the Nalco Press, a civilian facility pressed into monetary service under wartime necessity.
These provincial guerrilla-associated issues were declared illegal tender by Japanese authorities, and civilians caught holding them risked serious consequences. That risk, combined with the fragility of wartime paper stocks, accounts for the relative scarcity of surviving examples across the entire Negros Occidental series.
