Description

The 1903 Philippine Peso was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and carries no mint mark. Pesos of 1903 to 1906 follow the first standard of the act of March 2, 1903, under which the peso stood at half a United States dollar: about 26.95 grams of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, with a reeded edge. The obverse is Melecio Figueroa's young woman in a flowing gown striking an anvil with a hammer, the smoking cone of Mount Mayon behind her, with the value above and FILIPINAS below. The reverse shows the American eagle over a striped shield, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date. The recorded mintage is 2,788,901. Catalogue numbers: KM-168. PCGS number 90381.
