COINS: Coins and History- U.S Philippines 1928-M, MULE 20 Centavos Silver Coin- SCARCE

U.S. Territorial Philippine Twenty Centavos MULE silver coin dated 1928-M.

This is a highly collectible U.S. Territorial Philippine Twenty Centavos MULE silver coin dated 1928-M.

This type was struck for the Philippines 1907-29. In 1907, the denomination was reduced in weight to 4 grams (KM 170) and a substantial number issued 1907-21 with a final issue from the Manila mint in 1928-29. This issue is called a mule as the reverse die from the five centavos was used instead of the proper twenty centavos reverse. A mule is a coin which carries the design intended for another coin. In the U.S.-Philippine Series,  the only other instance of mule coinage is the 1918 5-centavo coin  wherein the obverse die containing the date and the shield and eagle design was inadvertently replaced with the obverse die of the 20-centavo coin of the same year.

Design

The obverse was designed by Melecio Figueroa and features a young Filipina in a flowing dress standing while striking an anvil with a hammer held in her right hand, her left arm is half raised and she holds an olive branch in her hand. In the background is the Mayon volcano with a billowing smoke coming from the crater. On the upper periphery of the coin is the denomination “TWENTY CENTAVOS” and on the lower periphery is the word “FILIPINAS”.

The reverse design features an eagle perched atop a shield.   On the outer periphery are the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the year of issue.  To the left of the year may be a mint mark “M” Manila or “S” San Francisco. Coin with no mint marks (as with this coin) were minted at the Philadelphia Mint.

DIECAST: Matchbox - Lesney Diecast Toys-Brief History.

A Lesney Matchbox truck box

Lesney Products & Co. Ltd. was a British manufacturing company responsible for the conception, manufacture, and distribution of die-cast toys under the "Matchbox" name.

Leslie Smith & Jack Odell

Lesney was founded in 1947 as an industrial die-casting company by LeslieSmith (March 6, 1918 - May 26, 2005) and Rodney Smith (August 26, 1917 - July 20, 2013.

Rodney Smith introduced to his partner a man named John "Jack" Odell, an engineer he had met in a previous job at D.C.M.T. (another die-casting company).  

Lone Star Toys London double-deck bus - about 4.5 inches long.. Lone Star Products Ltd. was the name used by British company Die Cast Machine Tools Ltd D.C.M.T for its toy products. 

In 1947 they received a request for parts for a toy gun. They started making die cast model toys the following year. Seeing no future for the company, Rodney Smith left in 1951.

Three major company milestones:

1. 1948- produced their first model toy– a die-cast road roller based clearly on a Dinky model (the industry leader in die-cast toy cars at that time) – in hindsight proves to be the first of perhaps three major milestones on the path to their eventual destiny. It established transportation as a viable and interesting theme.

2. 1953- production of a replica of the Royal State Coach in  the coronation year of QueenElizabeth II. Two versions were created, the first in a larger scale, followed by a smaller-scale model. It was this second model that sold over a million units, a massive success at the time. The profits from the sales provided valuable capital for further investments.

1953 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Coach & Horses Moko Toy by Lesney

3. Selling the model in a replica matchbox (hence the name of the series)  which would propel Lesney to worldwide, mass-market success. The  matchbox idea was originally designed for Mr. Odell ‘s daughter as her school only allowed children to bring toys that could fit inside a matchbox, hence a scaled-down version of the Lesney green and red road roller was crafted. The road roller ultimately became the first of the Matchbox 1-75 miniature range; a dump truck and a cement mixer completed the original three-model release.

By the mid-'60s, Matchbox was the largest brand of die-cast model vehicles in the world, and had diversified the line into multiple series. On July 11, 1982, after years of difficulties due to the economic climate in Britain at the time, Lesney went bankrupt and into receivership. The Matchbox brand as well as Lesney's tooling were bought by and became a division of Universal Holdings/Universal Toys, where the company re-formed as "Matchbox International Ltd." Tooling and production were moved to Macau. Jack Odell went on to form a new company, Lledo, where he produced models similar to early Matchbox Models of Yesteryear. Today, the Matchbox brand is owned by Mattel, creators of Hot Wheels.

Some of the tools and dies created in the Lesney era were still used in the Matchbox line of 2007.
