The Negros Emergency Currency Board was one of several provincial bodies authorized to issue guerrilla currency during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Negros Occidental remained a significant center of organized resistance, and locally-printed notes like this one were used to sustain both civilian commerce and supply networks outside Japanese-controlled zones.
Japanese military authorities treated possession of guerrilla currency as a serious offense. That threat, combined with the crude printing conditions available on the island, means survivors are inherently attrition-scarce — many were deliberately destroyed by holders when Japanese patrols were near.
