JAGNA (Bohol) 1943

Jagna is a coastal town in southeast Bohol. Two distinct but similar issues were made for local use, In both the printing is substantially better than many other local issues. All notes are specifically for use in Jagna only, and all bear s.1943 on the face. Issuing body was the Jagna Change Board.



First Issue

General Characteristics

Face: Mimeo print, two vertical serial numbers printed in purple, large denomination numeral in center, three printed signatures of the Board members near the bottom.

Back: Stamped and written signature, otherwise blank.

Paper: Plain light brown.

(BOH 471 to 474)



Second Issue

The main difference between this and the previous issue is that there is only a single serial number used, and it appears horizontally in the upper left center area, Also, various office forms of different colors were used for this issue, making it particularly desirable as a prime example of the kinds of materials employed in producing emergency currency.

CALAPE (Bohol) 1943

On the west central coast of Bohol, this municipality made two distinct issues of notes though all are dated 1943. The distinguishing feature between them is the appearance of the large center numerals on the face side. All denominations of both issues are among the more available Bohol municipal notes. ----- (but at this time quite scarce to come by)

Issuing body was the Calape Emergency Currency Board.



First Issue

Notes of the first issue are fairly clearly printed except for some of the 1 Centavo pieces. Serial numbers vary in size according to the typewriter used.


General Characteristics

Face: Mimeo print, hand colored center numeral, two red typed serial numbers. Three printed signatures as follows: Mun. Treas., Chairman; Mayor. Member; Justice of Peace. Member,

Back: Three hand signatures, otherwise blank.

Size: 95 / 50 mm.

Paper: White ballot.

(BOH 351 to 354)



Second Issue

The large numeral on the face side is simply printed from the stencil with no color filling it in, otherwise there is no change from the first issue. Printing, however,is usually entirely not clear, and borders especially weak.

(BOH 372 to 374)

MUNICIPAL ISSUES

Municipal notes were issued for the purpose of providing small change as needed by local commerce. The one big difference between these local issues and the provincial notes is that (with a few specified exceptions) the locals were not redeemable after the war.

Municipal issues existed out of sheer necessity; most provincial notes were in the higher denominations, and as paper was so hard to get, it was not considered feasible to supply large amounts of small denomination notes. It was simply left up to the municipal governments and smaller military contingents to meet their own needs for small change as best as they could, The procedure usually followed was to deposit the needed amount of redeemable provincial notes as security for the local notes to be issued. Thus, while the local notes were not redeemable as such by the Philippine government, they were always exchangeable on demand for larger denomination provincial notes which, of course, were redeemable.

Local issues are basically much scarcer as a group than many provincial issues, as they were made for use only in a small area or areas and generally in quite limited numbers. In appearance they varied greatly. Some were well printed while others were crude to the extreme of illegibility. Often the notes carried signatures (written or printed) of local and/or military officials; some communities went so far as to organize local currency boards similar in many respects to the provincial issuing bodies. A great many important varieties exist...

..... a number of issues seem to be backed by U.S. Army Forces. Most of such notes were in fact only local issues, probably made under the combined authority of local and military officials...
