    Coin identification help

    Does anyone recognize or have any information regarding this coin I found? It is approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Anyone know what the value might be or where I can find it out?

    ISLAS FILIPINAS: Phillipines Islands. UN PESO: One Peso. Reverse appears similar to Spanish pillar dollar. By putting the writing into Google search engine, you should find the solution quickly.

    Very cool sentimental Token, hand engraved on a special coin in it's own right.

    A new one peso coin was struck in 1897 with the profile of the boy King Alfonso XIII. This coin was only minted for 1 year, and is, at the same time, the first silver coin to bear the name of the Philippines (Islas Filipinas) and the very last coin issued by Spain in the Philippines.
