CAPIZ  CURRENCY COMMITTEE

 

In 1941 the island of Panay was divided into 3 provinces: Antique, Capiz and Iloilo.  When the Japanese occupied Panay, the provincial officials of Antique and Capiz remained in office as Japanese puppets.

In Iloilo however, Provincial Governor Tomas Confessor never surrendered. On August 13, 1942 he issued a Proclamation establishing his authority over the free areas of both Antique and Capiz in a government of FREE PANAY.  To head the free government in the Capiz areas, Confessor appointed Cornelio Villareal as Supervising Governor.

In 1943 Supervising Deputy Governor Villareal authorized the issuance of small denomination notes to provide small change.  A Currency Committee was named consisting of Deputy Provincial Treasurer Severino Gonzales as Chairman, with Deputy Provincial Auditor Miguel Reynaldo and Deputy Provincial Fiscal Roman Martinez as Members. 


Capiz is a province of the Philippines located in the Western Visayas region. Its capital is Roxas City and is located at the northeastern portion of Panay Island, bordering Aklan and Antique to the west, and Iloilo to the south. Capiz faces the Sibuyan Sea to the north




ON GRADING

The grade I gave is just my opinion and may differ from others. Grading is subjective and not an exact science. Please take a look at the photo and grade it accordingly. Several subjective factors of personal preference may be considered different by others. These include paper texture, quality, color, folds, markings, stains and overall eye appeal.

ABOUT US PHILIPPINES BANKNOTES

I noticed that the catalogue value of the US Philippine notes have increased dramatically over the past 4 years. With the high demand for US Philippines Banknote, the supply in our county is getting scarcer even for the common ones. Even in our local and international auctions good bank notes seldom appear. Unlike coins which is easy to keep and preserve, paper money are demonetized and destroyed by the banks and with our humid climate these notes have deteriorated in time. Start buying now !!! These notes are good investment that I guarantee.
