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.
