1936 Commonwealth Philippine Peso
Base
About This Coin
This page gathers the peso commemoratives struck at Manila in 1936 for the Commonwealth. The recorded figures for the year add up to 20,000 coins. The Manila Mint struck two commemorative pesos in 1936 for the founding of the Commonwealth of the Philippines on November 15, 1935, both designed by Ambrosio Morales, with the Commonwealth arms on the reverse. They weigh 20 grams of 90 percent silver and measure 35 millimeters. The set sold slowly, and many unsold pieces were among the silver thrown into the sea off Corregidor in 1942; some recovered later are corroded.
