Reason

High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). During World War II, the Japanese Military issued invasion currency for Netherlands Indian roepiah, Burmese rupee, and Singapore, Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei. The Japanese occupation of the Philippines (1942–45) was no different. This is a complete set of Japanese government-issued Philippine peso. The effect of wartime hyperinflation can be seen in the rapid increase of denomination value put into circulation. Pencil notations on the obverse of the notes beginning with "CM" indicate these notes were part of the Chase Manhattan Money Museum before being donated to the Smithsonian in 1979.

Original

A 13-note complete denomination and type set of World War II Japanese government-issued Philippine peso (1942–45).
