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 maintained particularly organized resistance infrastructure, and its emergency issues were formally recognized by the Commonwealth government for postwar redemption — unlike many provincial guerrilla notes that were ultimately rejected.
The 1945 date places this note in the final phase of issue, when the American reconquest of the Visayas was already underway and Japanese military scrip was collapsing in purchasing power. Redemption records suggest a significant portion of the Negros series was actually presented and honored, making genuinely uncirculated survivors rarer than their surviving numbers imply.
