Description

The 1907 Philippine Twenty Centavos was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and carries no mint mark. From 1907 the twenty centavos was struck lighter and smaller, 4 grams of 75 percent silver about 20 millimeters across, after the act of June 23, 1906 let the Philippine government lower the weight and fineness of its silver coins; the designs did not change. 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 1,250,651. Catalogue numbers: KM-170. PCGS number 90299.
