Rare WWII Guerrilla Forbidden Currency Banknotes

An extraordinary collection of three original World War II Philippine banknotes. Issued between 1942 and 1944, these notes are a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the era when Japanese forces overran the Philippines. As the provincial governments became cut off from Manila, local authorities were authorized to issue their own currency, leading to a fascinating array of emergency issues. These banknotes were issued under extraordinary circumstances, and possession of Guerrilla money was strictly forbidden by the occupying forces, adding to their historical significance.
