Description: COIN5555 U.S. AND FOREIGN RARE COINS ~SPECIAL OFFERING~ * Philippines "Death Sentence" Guerilla Money of World War II, Set of 24Grade/Condition: (C) CirculatedWeight/Dimensions: 24 gPhilippine Guerilla Money of World War II--On 7 December, 1941, the Japanese bombed the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor; the next day, they invaded the Philippines, a key American ally. Upon taking the country, the Japanese issued their own currency, declaring that existing money was not longer valid—one of many harsh measures that turned the Filipinos against them. A guerilla campaign waged by Philippine freedom fighters—and supplied by the U.S. via submarine—wreaked havoc on the occupying forces.--With physical money in short supply, guerilla fighters in the field and local governments in free provinces printed emergency currency—peso notes of various denominations printed on a hodgepodge of makeshift presses with whatever paper and ink could be obtained—on the authority of President-in-exile Manuel Quezon, whose likeness appears on some of the notes.---The notes in this set were printed by and circulated in various provinces of the Philippines during the Japanese occupation. Included are issues of Bohol, Cagay, Iloilo, Luzon, Misami, Negros, and Mindanao.--During the Japanese occupation, possession of guerilla money was forbidden on penalty of death; entire villages could be subject to harsh retribution if these notes were found in any quantity. Their ubiquity even in the face of reprisal is a testament to the courage and indomitable spirit of the Philippine people.--Guaranteed Genuine--These notes have been inspected and are guaranteed genuine.* Please Photo Is Example Only Of notes that You Will Receive, we have more than one of these sets available you Will Receive Comparable Notes. * We Have A Large Selection Of Medallions/Tokens And A Huge Selection Of High Quality Coins And Notes In Our Store. * Search Our Inventory For All Your Collecting Needs And After Pressing Buy It Now For Each Item You Wish To Purchase, Check Out By Then Pressing The Pay Now Button (after The Last Item) To Pay For All Items Combined On The Same Invoice And All Shipped Together. * If You Want More Then 1 Weeks Time To Check Our Inventory For Additional Items Before You Check Out Please Contact Us Thru The Message Board. * All Coins Are Handled With Cloth Gloves And Packaged In a 2X2 Protection Holder. * Your Satisfaction Is Guaranteed Or Your Money Back. ~SHIPPING~ * We Ship Fast As Our Customers Know, In Most Cases Your Order Will Be Processed And On The Way To You Within One Business Day. * All Items Are Packaged Professionally And With Extreme Care, Secure Shipping Is Our Standard. * International Orders Are Shipped Either 1st Class International Or Global Priority Mail. ~PAYMENT~ * We Accept All Major Credit Cards Thru Paypal.
