U.S. Philippine 1919-S, 50 Centavos Silver Coin- (2 Silver Coins)





U.S. Territorial Philippine Fifty Centavos silver coin 1919s.

THE COINS THAT YOU SEE ARE THE ONES YOU WILL GET.
This is a highly collectible U.S. Territorial Philippine Fifty Centavos silver coin dated 1919s.
From 1908 to 1935 the United States administered the Philippine Islands and issued several nice coins that are eagerly collected today. The same basic pattern of a woman, an anvil, and a volcano was used on 10, 20, and 50 centavos coins, and also the 1 peso coins. There are 100 centavos in one peso.These coins were minted in silver, so they carry value based on silver content alone.

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 “FIFTY 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 (such as for these four coins) . Coin with no mint marks were minted at the Philadelphia Mint.
