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)
