When you flip this coin end over end is the image reversed (like an American coin)?
The monetary agencies of the Philippines including the president were heavily criticized because of the size of this 50 centavo coin. The size is even smaller than 1 centavo coin. Because of this negative public reaction, The government stopped altogether minting this very scarce coin that made it highly sought after by collectors.
