Philippines 1998 25 sentimo

from the Stonecat Collection

The currency of the Philippines, which was called pesos and centavos during the American colonial period, was reformed in 1969 and renamed "piso" and "sentimo" which were the Tagalog translations. Locals, however, continue to use the old names. This type was struck in 1995-2003, then switched to brass plated steel for 2003-17 (KM 271a).

Recorded mintage: unknown but common.

Specification: 3.8 g, brass, 20 mm diameter, plain edge.

Catalog reference: KM 271.
