1942–1945 Japan WWII Philippines 1 & 5 Peso Occupation Notes 2-pc Set w/Clear Billfold

Japanese Invasion Currency Set

When the Japanese invaded the Philippines in the earliest days of World War II, they wanted to make sure that their control remained absolute. One way they attempted to do this was by issuing new currency. Though these notes feature local denominations, they also display the words “The Japanese Government,” so anyone making transactions with these bills during Japan’s occupation of the Philippines knew who was truly in control.

A Significant Piece Of WWII History

This set contains two notes issued by the Japanese Government to circulate in occupied Philippines, which was attacked right after the Japanese attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. These 1 and 5 Peso notes were designed to resemble American $1 and $5 bills. Each note was printed more than 75 years ago, and most were destroyed after the war. Not replicas, these notes are authentic pieces of World War II history, the most historically significant event of the 20th century: politically, economically, socially, and culturally. This two-piece set arrives in a clear billfold-style holder with a detailed storycard. Secure yours now!
