Description

The 1905 (S) Philippine Twenty Centavos was struck at the San Francisco Mint and carries a small S mint mark on the reverse, to the left of the date. 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 420,000. Philadelphia struck the 1905 twenty centavos only as proofs, so San Francisco made all of the year's coins for circulation. Catalogue numbers: KM-166. PCGS number 90292.
