This type was struck for the Philippines 1903-06. The Philadelphia mint issued some every year and the San Francisco mint contributed 1903-05. The 1903 and 1904-S are the common dates, the 1905 is available only as a proof. In 1907, the denomination was reduced in weight to 10 grams (KM 171) and a substantial number issued 1907-21. All were demonetized by the Philippine government in the late 1960's when the currency was reformed.
