One Authentic Silver Peso Coin dated 1903 The United States struck coins for use in the Philippines from 1903 to 1945. Coins were minted at the Philadelphia , San Francisco , Denver From 1903 to 1906, the silver coins had a silver content of 90% (... while those struck after 1906 had a reduced silver content of 80%). The obverse shows Liberty, a standing female figure (considered by many to be the daughter of the designer 'Blanca') in the act of striking the anvil with a hammer. This was done to show the work being done by Americans in building a better Philippines. The earliest coins were minted when the islands were a US Territory , and they bear the arms of the US Territories. This is a broad winged eagle, sitting atop a shield divided into two registers. The upper register has 13 stars, and the lower register has 13 vertical stripes. The date appears at the bottom, and "United States of America" appears at the top. Defenders of Corregidor threw a large number of silver coins into the ocean, rather than allow the Japanese to accumulate this wealth.-item ships First Class USPS, Insured.
