Five Peso Coin (1991)Improved Flora and Fauna Series
Obverse: Emilio Aguinaldo and year mark
Reverse: Pterocarpus indicus
Shape: Round
Edge: Reeded
Diameter: 25.5 mm
Composition: Nickel brass
There was no 5 peso coin in the previous flora & fauna series. When the Bangko Sentral issued the improved series, they introduced this 5 peso coin to replace the 5 peso bill. The peso was diminishing in value due to inflation. The 5 peso banknote changed hands more frequently and got worn out easily. To save on the costs of printing new banknotes to replace those worn out, the Bangko Sentral turned to minting 5 peso coins which last a lot longer compared to paper money.
This is the same reason why the Bangko Sentral replaced the 10 peso bills with coins.

Hello. I think there might be a correction to the year in the 5 peso coin. I think it's 1991 instead of 1997.
Hi,
Is this coin of any value? We have a considerable volume of this particular coin? Would you advise on how much it is worth now for collectors?
at the lower shoulder of aguinaldo there is a symbol... what is it?
about the symbol... It is an alibata character, meaning "Pi"
