WW2 Currency Set: 1 Banknote + 1 Silver Coin from the Philippines (1943-1945)

History in Your Hands: WW2 Memorabilia Collection of 2 Original Pieces

A Remarkable Connection to the Past
Discover an extraordinary World War II memorabilia collection featuring two original pieces from a pivotal era in global history. This set provides a tangible link to the Philippines during the tumultuous years of WWII, when the United States exercised colonial rule over its largest overseas territory between 1899 and 1946.

What’s Included?

1. Mindanao Emergency Currency - 10 Peso Note (Series 1943-44):
   Issued by the Mindanao Emergency Currency Board, this banknote was authorized under the forces led by Wendell Fertig of the United States Forces in the Philippines.

   • These notes circulated throughout Mindanao, enabling trade and commerce despite the chaos caused by Japanese retaliation and guerrilla warfare.
   • A true piece of wartime history, handled by real people in extraordinary circumstances.

2. Silver 20 Centavo Coin - Denver Mint (1944):
   Before departing the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur ordered the dumping of all silver coins into Manila Bay to prevent their use by the Japanese. Upon his return in 1944, the country faced a dire need for silver coins, prompting the Denver Mint to strike these 20 Centavo coins, which were quickly shipped to the islands.

   • This coin represents MacArthur’s promise fulfilled and the resilience of the Filipino people.
