Nueva Vizcaya is in the heart of Luzon´s east central portion. It is sparsely populated and the single issue of emergency notes was not large. They were mimeographed.
On January 17th, 1942 President Quezon authorized Nueva Vizcaya to issue notes. A Currency Committee was formed in April, and they began producing notes. After a small amount of notes were distributed, they decided to begin embossing the notes to deter counterfeiting.
Notes with embossed seal are usually (always?) encountered with a red counter- signature and 1943 date (as seen in the scans below). This is due to the Japanese order in July 1943 authorizing redemption of pre-surrender emergency notes. The order excluded any mimeographed notes, but Governer Quirino ordered the notes to be accepted for redemption anyway. The notes were registered, countersigned, and the Japanese army refused to redeem them.
Municipal notes:
- <em>There are no known municipal issues by this province.</em>
