Description
The 1903 Philippine Half Centavo is part of the Philippines Half Centavos 1903-1908 series. Half centavos came only from the Philadelphia Mint. Melecio Figueroa's obverse shows a young man seated beside an anvil with a hammer, the volcano Mount Mayon smoking behind him, the value above and FILIPINAS below; the reverse has an eagle standing on the shield of the United States inside the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, with the date at the bottom. The coin found little use in trade, and none were made for circulation after 1904: the 1905, 1906 and 1908 pieces exist only as proofs from the yearly sets. The Red Book and the Krause catalogue record 12,084,000 pieces. Catalogue numbers: KM-162. PCGS number 90003.
