Overview

Historical significance

This banknote is part of the 'New Design Series' of Philippine pesos, which was introduced to replace older designs and improve security features. Andres Bonifacio, depicted on the 5-piso note, is a pivotal figure in Philippine history, known as the 'Father of the Philippine Revolution' and the founder of the Katipunan, a secret society that initiated the revolt against Spanish colonial rule.

Estimated value

While the face value is 5 Philippine Pesos, the collectible value for common circulating versions is generally low, often around its face value or slightly higher for uncirculated or well-preserved notes (a few US cents to a few US dollars, depending on condition and specific year/signature). Notes with special serial numbers might fetch more.

Care & preservation

To preserve banknotes, it is recommended to handle them by the edges to avoid transferring oils from skin, store them flat in acid-free sleeves or albums, keep them away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures, and never fold or crease them unnecessarily. Avoid cleaning, as this can damage the note and reduce its collectible value.
