WARNING! (A very tricky Commemorative, two issues over two years.)
*...In 2004 the BSP released the 2004 20 Piso Signature 17 (p182i), with an overprint dated 2005,
......A widespread release celebrating the upcoming 2005 Microcredit event in a years' time.
......Then in 2005 when the event rolled around, a very limited release of a few thousand, on NEW notes
......The new notes were 2005 20 Piso Sig.18 (p182j), with the same earlier overprint dated 2005, just like before.
.......Uncut sheets of 4 were also released in folders for the "Happy Day", and these also don't seem to be listed.
Pick lists the 2004 dated as pA198, but no mention of the 2005. (The fact it has a "pA" shows it's an afterthought).
PMG does not list either note here, but it has Graded eight pA198. All dated 2005, the unlisted much rarer issue.
These are very different notes, only the date on the overprint is the same, and that really means nothing.
Different Dates and Signatures on the original notes are what really matters, two very different notes.
Thanks to the cost of the P100,000, this is one set I'll never get 100% on, (Donations anybody?)
