Coin set – Philippines

Complete set of coins with the image

national heroes of the philippines

After Ferdinand Magellan

landed (and died) in the Philippines during

his circumnavigation of the world in 1521,

the islands became part of the Spanish colonial empire

for more than 300 years. However, revolutionary movements

spawned many national heroes in the struggle

for independence from Spain, and since 1898 from the United States.

This complete set of Philippine pesos is dedicated to some of them.

The obverse features portraits of José Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo,

as well as a double portrait of Andres Bonifacio and

Apolinario Mabini, in addition to denominations.

The reverse shows the old seal.

and the year the central bank was founded.
