I'm looking for info on a Philippines Five Pesos note from 1922.

Portrait of McKinley on the left, Dewey on the right. Victory series number 66

Dark grey front, yellow back with VICTORY in large black type.

Payable to the bearer on demand in silver pesos or legal tender US currency.

I got it on a brief visit 27 years ago, forgot I had it. Nice looking note.

These notes are called victory notes. These are not from 1922, while maintaining the designs of the pre WWII issues it is distinguished from the previous notes by the overprinting of VICTORY on the back. I don't have my collection on hand but I don't remember seeing any date on those. These are after the war 1945 that explains the overprint VICTORY on it. These banknotes are common but scarce in highgrade. 500 pesos is very scarce or rare.
