I’m trying to clarify the dating of the polymer ₱1000 banknotes for prefixes BN, BO, BP and BQ.
From what I have observed so far:
- Prefixes AA–BL are dated 2022 and carry the signatures of Rodrigo Duterte (RD) and Benjamin Diokno (BD).
- Prefix BM appears to be the first prefix with the new signatures of Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. (FRM) and Felipe Medalla (FM), while the note is still dated 2022.
What I’m trying to determine is the transition point for the printed year on the note.
The closest prefix I have personally seen after that is BR, and that note is already dated 2023.
So my question is:
Do prefixes BN, BO, BP, BQ still carry the year 2022, or were they already switched to 2023?
If anyone has examples or photos of these prefixes, it would help a lot to confirm the exact transition point.
