Collection of 3 Authentic Philippine Guerrilla Money Banknotes | World War II (1941-1945)
Extraordinary Historical Memorabilia from World War II
Collection of 3 original banknotes that were part of World War II. When Japanese forces invaded the Philippines in 1941, provincial governments were cut off from Manila and could no longer obtain currency to meet official or commercial requirements. The government in exile, under President Quezon, and General MacArthur's headquarters in Australia authorized local authorities in the Philippines to issue currency as necessary.
Three banknotes, three Philippine provinces, the forbidden money that cost lives during the Japanese occupation.
