Emergency Guerrilla Currency Phillippines - WWII
*ONLY 1 NOTE PER ORDER, SELECTED AT RANDOM
Own a piece of Philippine WWII history - one genuine guerrilla-issued emergency banknote, selected at random from a rare roster of denominations. When traditional currency dried up under Japanese occupation, local resistance cells and Commonwealth authorities pressed these “paper lifelines” on crude presses to keep commerce and hope alive.
