The History of the Philippine Peso

Early Beginnings and Spanish Influence

The Philippine peso has a rich history that dates back to the colonial period. During the Spanish era, the currency used in the Philippines was heavily influenced by Spanish monetary systems. The symbol "$" was commonly used for the peso, similar to other Spanish colonies [1:4]. This influence persisted until the American colonization when the "₱" symbol was adopted [1:7].

First Banknote of the Philippine Republic (1898)

The first banknotes of the Philippine Republic were issued in 1898 under the leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo. These notes were backed by the country's natural resources and were used for a short period before being largely destroyed by American forces [1]. The design of these early banknotes was quite intricate, featuring ornamental characters typical of printing presses of that time [1:2].

Philippine National Bank Notes (1916-1937)

In 1916, the Philippine National Bank began issuing its own set of notes. These notes were part of an effort to drive the economy, particularly focusing on agriculture. The bank continued to issue notes until 1937 and even allowed guerrilla emergency notes during World War II [2].

US-Philippine Currency (1908-1928)

During the American colonial period, the US-Philippine currency was introduced. The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), originally established as "El Banco Español Filipino de Isabel II" in 1851, played a significant role in issuing these notes. By 1908, the bank had started issuing new notes, including silver certificates, which featured allegorical figures [3].

Modern Era and Coinage

The modern era saw various changes in the design and composition of Philippine currency. The Pilipino Series, issued between 1967 and 1974, marked a significant transition in coinage. Notably, the last coins with silver content were commemorative, and regular circulation coins no longer contained silver [5:1][5:2].

Collecting Historical Currency

Collectors today value historical Philippine currency highly. Rare notes from different eras, such as those from the BPI or the early Republic, are sought after due to their limited availability and historical significance [1:5][3:3]. Collectors often find these notes through auctions, local groups, or dedicated numismatic events [3:2].

This overview provides a glimpse into the complex history of the Philippine peso, reflecting the nation's colonial past and its journey towards economic independence.

I acquired this last Saturday during FCAS' auction. Their value is backed up by the natural resources of our country. Only a short time of usage, and most were burned by the Americans making them rare and highly sought after.

Translation:

The President of the Republic Emilio Aguinaldo.
This ticket will be exchanged and received by the Philippine Republic in payment of taxes, customs duties and all kind of obligations.
Republic of the Philippines.

I have some observations to make.

First of all, the design. I can determine how the bills are designed; the ornamentation appears to be those ornamental characters that printing presses of the day would use. That shows that they were artistically arranged to produce the design of the bill. For example, note the borders of the "1"'s at each corner of the upper photo, they are made of asterisks. The inner border of the lower photo is made of the same character. The type of the "Republica Filipina" text appears very familiar to me, I believe it was used in the Spanish printing of Aguinaldo's "Reseña veridica de la revolucion filipina", published in Tarlac around the same time as this. The printer's name, "Z. Fajardo", below the text "Papel moneda" in the lower photo, is proof enough that unconventional use of an conventional printing press was used to compose these banknotes.

Paterno's title, "Presidente del Consejo de Gobierno", is precisely what leads him to be called a "Prime Minister" of the Philippines, alongside Mabini, his predecessor. They were not prime ministers in the common definition because they were not the head of government; the constitution bestowed that power on the President of the Republic (an office only filled by Aguinaldo, the civil structure of the Philippine Republic was gone by the time Malvar assumed leadership). They qualify to be called prime ministers on a technicality because, as the constitutionally chosen heads of the President's body of ministers (officially the Council of Government or Consejo del Gobierno) and having duties unique to the head of that body, they were very much literally the "prime" ministers of the President of the Republic.

This bill being issued under the Paterno prime ministry (I can't recall if any was published during Mabini's term) also shows how active the civil part of the Philippine government was even in the face of American invasion, as Mabini was forced to resign out of delicadeza only when the American threat grew exponentially larger than it was when Mabini was appointed. I actually haven't read any sources about their use as legal tender.

New Acquisition: US-Philippine 1928 100 Peso note from BPI

Posted by Fit-Worldliness-1217 · in r/papermoney · 3 months ago
post image

This high denomination note was issued under BPI, which is the oldest bank established in Southeast Asia. Its first iteration was in the form of “El Banco Español Filipino de Isabel II” dating back to 1851 under the reign of Isabel II. The institution issued the oldest banknotes in the Philippines under Isabel II in 1852, those notes were extremely large in size. In 1908, they had issued new notes in the size of the more popular Philippine silver certificates featuring female allegorical figures . Subsequently in 1912, the bank re-christened itself from its previous Spanish title to “Bank of the Philippine Islands” AKA “BPI”under Act No.1790. They were then privatized and allowed note-issuing privileges till 1949 when the Philippines gained independence and only allowed the Central Bank of the Philippines to issue notes (now known as Bangko Sentral ng Filipinas). Not a lot of these notes survived due to burning in WW2 and redemption, coupled with their extremely low printing runs (as this issue only had 2100 ever printed)

Yeah, it’s tough, because collectors here in Manila have been demanding more BPI banknotes as of late, and the bank printed few notes in the first place as well. However, I can still find some good deals in local Facebook groups, but you have to dig for them. That’s where I found this 100 peso note for sale.

Yes, this is certainly interesting. It might be interesting to take a look as well at money, banking, and the domestic economy towards the end of the Spanish period right before this period you are looking at of 1903-1905. I know that there is precious little in terms of the literature, but I do remember going through some tangential materials in both English and Spanish. Will try to scrounge around for materials. Meanwhile, good luck, hope you push this some more!

I searched my docs and found this article before. But rather than sharing my docs, will just refer you to an online site where you can download the article and similar ones. This is about the tribute system, what it was, what it was not (compared to what most Filipinos think of it), etc and try to imagine a tax system with incomplete monetization / money supply.

This one is called "Gaming the System: The Tribute System in the Spanish system.

https://www.academia.edu/9452177/Gaming_the_System_The_Tribute_System_in_the_Spanish_Philippines_1565_1884

There's a lot of references and citations, although you may have to understand Spanish to read the original references...

In the course of looking for the original article, I found this one, which is newly published, about the abolition of the tribute system. I haven't read it yet though...

The Termination of Tribute in the Spanish Philippines in 1884: The Treasury and Spanish Sovereignty

Personally, my favorite is the NDS series (seen on the second column), its like each banknote has its own distinct and unique style (especially on the 200 and 500 pesos), same with the ABL series from the 70s.

Overall, I appreciate the Central Bank knowing how to evolve our money's designs and to catch up with technology, especially with the rise of counterfeiters, and how they know to switch things up a bit (unlike the U.S. dollar).

roberts-world-money · 4 months ago

Very cool! It's not uncommon for lower denomination banknotes to be replaced by coins, but it's interesting that the 200 piso was discontinued in the latest polymer series.

The reason I heard is that there wasn't a high demand for them—people could easily get by with a couple of 100s. To me, this is similar to the 50-dollar bill in the US. Few people would miss it—the 100 and 20 can handle things without the 50 around.

2 upvotes on reddit
OingoBoingBrothas · 4 months ago

IMO, the 200 peso bill is more similar to the 2 dollar bill, especially since it's so scarce that many Filipinos have never even seen one, let alone think it exists, same with the 2 dollar bill.

This is also where the 200 peso gets its nickname, "The 2-dollar Bill of the East."

what is the currency of the philippines

AI Answer

🤖

what is the history of the philippine peso

Key Considerations in the History of the Philippine Peso:

  1. Spanish Colonial Era (1565-1898):

    • The peso originated from the Spanish dollar (pieces of eight) during the Spanish colonial period.
    • The term "peso" was used to refer to the currency, which was based on silver.
  2. American Colonial Period (1898-1946):

    • After the Spanish-American War, the U.S. introduced the Philippine peso as a currency pegged to the U.S. dollar.
    • The Philippine Coinage Act of 1903 established a new currency system, leading to the minting of coins and the issuance of paper money.
  3. World War II and Japanese Occupation (1942-1945):

    • During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese government issued its own currency, which led to hyperinflation and a significant devaluation of the peso.
  4. Post-War Era (1946-1960s):

    • After World War II, the Philippine peso was re-established, and the country began to rebuild its economy.
    • The peso was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 2:1 until 1970.
  5. Floating Exchange Rate (1970s-Present):

    • In 1970, the peso was allowed to float, leading to fluctuations in its value.
    • The peso has undergone several devaluations and reforms, particularly during economic crises in the 1980s and 1990s.
  6. Current Status:

    • The Philippine peso (PHP) is currently managed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
    • As of October 2023, the exchange rate fluctuates around 55-60 PHP to 1 USD, influenced by various economic factors.

Takeaway: The Philippine peso has a rich history influenced by colonial rule, economic changes, and global events. Understanding its evolution provides insight into the country's economic development and current financial landscape.
