20 Centavos

One of several emergency guerrilla currency issues produced in the Philippine provinces after the Japanese occupation disrupted regular monetary supply. Negros Occidental was among the more organized of these efforts — the Provincial Currency Committee had enough infrastructure to commission a local printer and issue denominated notes across multiple values rather than resorting to handwritten scrip.

Nalco Press was a local commercial operation, not a security printer, and the notes show it. Counterfeiting was a known concern with these issues, though Japanese forces posed a more immediate threat to their validity than any forger did.
