Hi there,
You are bidding on
U.S. Philippines Coins -
1908 Silver One Peso & 5x Centavos Set
.
After the American conquest of the Philippines in 1898, the currency was reorganized and a new peso was struck in Philadelphia and San Francisco for the Philippines in 1903-06. These coins were reduced from 26.95 grams to 20 grams in 1907 and issued in that form until 1912, after which no silver pesos were struck until the commemorative issues of 1936 celebrating the new commonwealth.
The centavos, on the other hand, were struck for the Philippines in 1903-28. The early dates (1903-08) are from the Philadelphia mint, the middle dates (1916-19) are from the San Francisco mint and the later dates (1920-28), 1920-1921 without a mint mark are from the Manila mint. Many of the dates are rare, especially in nice condition, but the 1903 is the most common. All were demonetized by the Philippine government in the late 1960's when the currency was reformed. These coins are listed in the Red Book as well as the SCWC and are collected as part of the United States series.
Let me know if you require more photos. Cheers.
