Description

The 1903 Philippine Twenty Centavos was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and carries no mint mark. Twenty centavos of 1903 to 1906 follow the first standard set under the act of March 2, 1903: 5.385 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 5,350,231. The references agree on 5,350,231 business strikes; one of them prints a total of 5,352,789, which adds the 2,558 proofs. Catalogue numbers: KM-166. PCGS number 90288.
