1904 Philippine Peso
Base
About This Coin
This page gathers the pesos dated 1904: coins for circulation from Philadelphia and San Francisco, and proofs from Philadelphia. One issue of the year has no agreed mintage in the references, so no total is given. 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.
