MARIBOJOC (Bohol) 1944

This town is in the center of the southwest cluster of communities on Bohol which issued local currency. Two markedly different emissions ook place, both dated 1944. The first of these is reminiscent of the famous "Lazy 2" issue of U.S. $2 notes as the redemption numerals on the face are lying sideways in a "Lazy"  position. The second issue is somewhat more conventional. Issuing body was the Emergency Currency Board of the town,


First Issue

This is by far the scarcer of the two issues, Printing is usually not good, and it is seldom that a decently clear specimen can be found.


General Characteristics

Face: Mimeo print, two black typed serial numbers, weakly printed signatures of the Board. Large numerals at the right are in a horizontal or "lazy" position. Title is "Certificate of 1944."

Back: Three small handwritten signatures probably were meant for each note; back is otherwise blank. Embossed seal is weakly impressed (on all?).

Size: 79-84/54mm.

Paper: White ballot

(BOH 651 to 653)




Second Issue

Notes of the second issue are much more plentiful, better printed and less individualistic in their appearance.


General Characteristics

Face: Mimeo print, two black typed serial numbers, three printed signatures of the Board. Large denomination numerals are upright and centered. Title as the first issue.

Back: Similar to the preceding issue.

Size: 81-84/60-61mm.

Paper: White ballot

(BOH 661 to 663)
