Description

The 1918 (S) Philippine Centavo, struck at the San Francisco Mint, is part of the Philippines Centavos 1903-1945 collection. 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. The Director of the Mint's report lists 11,660,000 pieces struck at San Francisco in calendar year 1918. Catalogue numbers: KM-163. PCGS number 90078.
