Description
The 1906 Proof Philippine Centavo is a proof bronze one-centavo coin struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1906 for the Philippine Islands under United States administration. The first centavo design was struck in bronze from 1903 to 1936. Melecio Figueroa's obverse shows a young man seated at an anvil with a hammer and Mount Mayon behind him, the value above and FILIPINAS below; the reverse has an eagle standing on the United States shield under UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, with the date at the bottom. Philadelphia struck the coins of 1903-1905 and the proofs, San Francisco the coins of 1908-1920 with a small S to the left of the date, and the Manila Mint those of 1920-1922 with no mint mark and of 1925-1936 with an M. Proofs were struck at the Philadelphia Mint for the Philippine proof sets sold from 1903 to 1908. The Red Book and the Krause catalogue record 500 pieces. Catalogue numbers: KM-163.
