Coin Value: Philippines 10, 25, and 50 Centavos 1958 to 1966Philippines 10, 25, and 50 Centavos 1958 to 1966
These coins from the Republic of the Philippines were minted in copper-zinc-nickel between 1958 and 1966. As modern coins made of non-precious metal, they are worth very little. If you can find one in fully uncirculated condition, a collector might pay a few US dollars to add it to his or her collection.
Philippine twenty-five centavo coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaPhilippine twenty-five centavo coin
The twenty-five centavos coin is the fourth-highest and fourth-lowest denomination coin of the Philippine peso.
No coins worth a quarter of a peso were issued during Spanish or American rule of the Philippines, despite both nations having a coin worth a quarter of their own currency. The first coin of the independent Philippines to be worth a quarter of a peso was issued in 1958 as twenty-five centavos (the name for the sub-unit under American rule). Its obverse featured a woman near a volcano. The denomination was written in English around its outside with the year at the bottom. On the reverse was the coat of arms of the Philippines and around it the inscription CENTRAL BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES. The last issue of the coin was in 1966.
