1907 USA Phillipines Silver Peso (Salvaged from Manila Bay)
Tax included.
The 1907 USA–Philippines Silver Peso holds a fascinating place in numismatic and maritime history. Struck under American administration, these coins were minted in San Francisco and circulated widely throughout the Philippines. This particular example was salvaged from Manila Bay, where countless pesos were lost during World War II when ships were scuttled or sunk amid the Japanese invasion.
Bearing the iconic standing figure of Liberty beside an anvil and Mt. Mayon, the peso reflects both American influence and Filipino identity.
