The note
The 1-peso Treasury Certificate (P#94a) is the most numerous denomination of Victory Series No. 66. The face shows a circular portrait of Apolinario Mabini — theorist of the First Philippine Republic — at left and the blue Commonwealth of the Philippines seal at right. The text certifies a deposit in the Treasury of the Philippines, payable to the bearer in silver pesos or in legal-tender currency of the United States of equivalent value, under an act of the Philippine Legislature approved by the President of the United States on 13 June 1922. “Victory Series No. 66” stands in place of a date. The orange back carries the large black VICTORY overprint. This collection piece, unslabbed, is serial F70618009 with Osmeña–Hernandez signatures. It does not carry the later Central Bank of the Philippines overprint (Pick 117+).
