Description: During World War II, the United States engaged in extensive counterfeiting of the wartime currency of the Philippines. One notable example is the 1 Peso Blk PH banknote, among others, which was reportedly printed using paper from the Byron Western Company in Massachusetts by the O.S.S. Forgery Plant in Washington D.C. These counterfeit notes were then flown to the Philippines in December 1943.Identifying Characteristics:The counterfeit note can be distinguished from the original by examining the decorative leaf on the banknote. In the counterfeit version, the 4th and 5th veins of the leaf are connected about halfway down. In contrast, on the original note, these veins are separated and do not touch each other.Key Details:Denomination: 1 PesoColor: Likely similar to the original Philippine peso notes of the era, which featured various colors such as green, brown, and red.Condition: Described as aUNC (about Uncirculated)
