It's a one centavo copper issued for use in the Philippines during the time that country was a self-governing commonwealth of the United States (1935-46). Coins of this type were struck each year from 1937 to 1941, and again in 1944. Some were minted in Manila, and others in San Francisco.

Mojjax;
That same image also appeared on other denominations, in other metals and in other years.
Great find.
Dare I say it looks like it 'went through the war'.
