1916 Five Pesos

Here is a 1916 five pesos that again, part of my early collection. Bought this from the street again. Somehow I've noticed that this particular note is frequently seen and offered considering how long this have been. This note got a fold in the middle and some little rust like spots but still a fine note to have in my collection.

As an additional info. The smaller text seen in the upper part of the note(near the portrait) reads:

ISSUED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ACT NUMBERED 2612 OF THE PHILIPPINE LEGISLATURE


The smaller text at the back found on the lower border of the note reads:

THIS NOTE IS RECEIVABLE BY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IN PAYMENT OF ALL TAXES, DUES, OR OTHER CLAIMS DUE OR OWING TO SAID GOVERNMENT AND IS EXEMPT FROM ALL TAXES
