Description
The 1919 (S) Philippine Fifty Centavos was struck at the San Francisco Mint and carries a small S mint mark on the reverse, to the left of the date. From 1907 the fifty centavos weighed 10 grams at 75 percent silver and measured 27 millimeters, under the act of June 23, 1906 that allowed the Philippine government to reduce 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 1,200,000. Catalogue numbers: KM-171. PCGS number 90359.
