1907-S US-Philippine Twenty Centavos, 90% Silver

A piece of American colonial history in coin form — the US-Philippine Twenty Centavos, struck during the period when the Philippines was a US territory and American mints were producing coinage for the islands. Details: - Date: 1907 - Mint mark: appears to be "S" (San Francisco) — small letter below date; verify in hand - Denomination: Twenty Centavos - Series: US-Philippine Insular coinage - Composition: 90% silver (4.0 g coin, ~0.1158 troy oz pure silver) - Obverse: US eagle on shield, "United States of America" - Reverse: Standing figure at anvil, "Twenty Centavos / Filipinas" Circulated with moderate to heavy wear — design and lettering legible throughout, some flat high points and light verdigris. A solid circulated example of a coin that doesn't show up every day. The US-Philippine coinage series was designed by Melecio Figueroa and struck at US mints — a direct artifact of America's brief but consequential colonial chapter in the Pacific.
