"The term "Filipinas coins centavo" primarily refers to historical one-centavo coins issued during the U.S. administration of the Philippines (1903–1945), which bore the inscription "FILIPINAS". Modern Philippine currency uses "sentimo" as the official term for its centavo equivalent.
Historical Centavo Coins (U.S. Administration)
These coins are popular with collectors in both the United States and the Philippines due to their shared history.
Period: The United States produced coins for the Philippines from 1903 to 1945.
Design: The one-centavo coins featured a consistent design on the obverse (front): a kneeling Filipino man with a hammer and anvil, set against the backdrop of a smoking Mayon volcano. The reverse side displayed the U.S. coat of arms (an eagle perched atop a shield).
Inscriptions: These coins were inscribed with both "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "FILIPINAS".
Composition & Denominations: They were struck in bronze and other denominations were also minted, including the 1/2 centavo, 5, 10, 20, and 50 centavos, and the one peso.
Value: The value of these collector coins varies significantly based on year, mint mark (Philadelphia, San Francisco, Denver, or Manila), and condition, ranging from a few dollars for circulated coins to hundreds for high-grade, uncirculated examples.
Modern Centavo Coins
The current official currency of the Philippines is the Philippine peso (piso), which is subdivided into 100 sentimo, also commonly referred to as centavos. The modern one-centavo coin, part of the New Generation Currency Coin Series introduced in 2017, features a stylized representation of the Philippine flag, three stars and the sun on the obverse, and a depiction of the Magkono plant on the reverse. | |
