The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on Monday featured its 100,000-piso Philippine Centennial commemorative banknotes in celebration of National Heroes Day.
The BSP said it honors the bravery and patriotism of Filipino heroes by highlighting the 100,000-piso notes from its numismatic collection.
The largest Philippine commemorative banknote was printed in 1998 for the celebration of the centennial of Philippine independence. The 100,000-piso note is available as a collectible at the BSP Store.
The obverse of the note showcases a symbolic scene of the struggle for Philippine independence in 1896 — the Sigaw ng Himagsikan led by Andres Bonifacio, the supremo of the Katipunan.
The reverse features the proclamation of Philippine independence led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo on June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite.
The BSP said only 1,000 pieces of the banknotes were printed. Other collectible coins and bills previously launched by the BSP include a 150-piso coin and a 125-piso coin to mark important moments in Philippine history.
