About This Coin
This page gathers the fifty centavos dated 1944: coins for circulation from San Francisco. The recorded figures for the year add up to 19,187,000 coins. After American forces landed on Leyte in October 1944, the San Francisco Mint struck fifty centavos dated 1944 and 1945 for the liberated islands, 10 grams of 75 percent silver. Figueroa's obverse was kept. The reverse carries the arms of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, designed by Ambrosio Morales; the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the date and the mint letter run around them.
