The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &quot;[[Philippines|PHILIPPINES]]. Culion Leper Colony. Centavo, 1927-PM. Manila Mint. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, VF Details. Type 1.&quot; This coin was minted for the leper colony on Culion Island in 1927. There was a widespread belief that leprosy could be spread by exchanging money, so several governments issued special coins for their leper colonies. Besides the Philippines, leper colony coins are known from [[Colombia]], [[Venezuela]] and [[Brazil]]. Advances in medical knowledge have dispelled this myth and most of the colonies have closed and the coinage redeemed. The Philippine Health Service issued base-metal one centavos for Culion Island in 1913 and 1927, each a different type. Three varieties exist for 1927, KM 3 (shown here), KM 4 and KM A5, varying in the details of Rizal's coat.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' 30,000 (including KM 4 and KM A5). <br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' copper-nickel, 21.2 mm diameter.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM-3. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Basso, Aldo P., ''Coins, Medals and Tokens of the Philippines,'' Menlo Park, CA: 1968.<br /> * Ganzon de Legarda, Angelita, ''Piloncitos to Pesos, A Brief History of Coinage in the Philippines,'' Manila: Bancom Development Corporation, 1976. <br /> * Michael, Thomas, and Tracy L.
