Description

The 1904 Philippine Fifty Centavos was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and carries no mint mark. Fifty centavos of 1903 to 1906 follow the first standard: 13.48 grams of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, 30 millimeters across, 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 10,000. Philadelphia struck only a small number of business strikes in 1904, beside the proofs. Catalogue numbers: KM-167. PCGS number 90344.
