New Generation Currency Coin Series

-On March 26, 2018, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas introduced the New Generation Currency Coin Series which was circulated through banks on March 27.
-The new series features native Philippine flora. Sentimo denominated coins depict a stylized representation of the Philippine flag on the obverse.
- Peso denominated coins depict the portraits of renowned national heroes of the Philippines on the obverse. However, the 10-sentimo coin is not included in this
series, because it was removed as a general circulation coin. This series uses the Twentieth Century and the Helvetica Neue typeface (20 peso coin only).
