Banknotes: Overprint Commemorative Notes

Its not just coins that have commemorative versions, banknotes also have commemorative issues. Unlike coins, commemorative banknotes are usually ordinary banknotes with additional prints on them. These prints, called overprints, makes the note a collector's item. For Philippine banknotes, the overprint is usually found in the unprinted portion. Its usually commemorates and events, anniversaries or institutions, and notable meetings.

Below are some of the overprint banknotes I have collected recently. Some of my other overprint banknotes are in the province.

The Philippines
Founding member of ASEAN

ASEAN Commemorative 50 peso bill

"GRAND LODGE OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS"
100 YEARS
"IN THE LORD IS ALL OUR TRUST"

Free Masons Commemorative 100 Peso Bill

And of course we all know of this one.

So there you have it. Commemorative banknotes. I'll update this entry once I get my other overprint bills.

Enjoy!
