The obverse design is adpoted from the earlier coins issued during the American Occupation. The figure of Lady Liberty striking the anvil with a hammer is supposed to depict the work done by the Americans in creating a progressive Philippines. Many suspect that the lady in the figure is actually Blanca, the daughter of the designer.
I have several of this type of coin as well as lots of others i would like to find more information on any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteIt's composition is Cu-Zn, unlike its Commonwealth and American Colony Series which is Silver. So pretty much if I'm a refiner, this coins are worth nothing, if I'm a numismatist these coins would be worth more than its face value depending on the coin's condition but far far less than I would be paying for its Silver counterpart.
