Reverse: arms of the US Territories, "United States of America", year mark
The minting of this coin was only until 1904. The small size and value of the coin made it unpopular to the public. Proofs
were struck until 1908. I personally find it weird why they would bother making a coin of this value.
The figure of the man in the obverse is an allegory for the hard work being done by the Filipinos in building their own
future.

The dimensions of this coin were changed in 1930. When the size of the 20 centavo coin was reduced, it had about the

coin was reduced in size.

The figure of Lady Liberty striking the anvil with a hammer is supposed to depict the work done by the Americans in

As inflation crept in, the Japanese printed banknotes in larger denominations. This bill is the last of the third series along
with the 100 and 500 peso JIM. It was printed just before their surrender in 1945.
Due to dwindling resources, this banknote is smaller than the others and is printed on cheap paper, the reason why the
blue ink at the front bleeds through the back.

n piso banknote features the portrait of Emilio Aguinaldo. The back of the banknote features the Philippine
declaration of independence by Emilio Aguinaldo on June 12, 1898. This was previously featured on the

colonial government. Mabini was the Philippines first Prime Minister and Secretary of Foreign Affairs even
though he was a cripple. Because of this, he was often called "The Sublime Paralytic". Depicted on the right
side is one of the flags of the Katipunan, and a letter written by Mabini.
The reverse side of the banknote features the Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan, site of the first
Philippine Congress and where the Malolos Constitution was drafted. The right portion depicts the initiation
rites of the Katipunan. Members accepted into the society had to sign their name on the society's roster
using their own blood. The design was previously used on the 5 Piso "Pilipino" and "Ang Bagong Lipunan"
notes. Before 1997, the 10-piso banknote only depicted Mabini and the Barasoain Church. The printing of
this banknote was stopped
after the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas released the new 10 coin denomination in 2000. However, existing
banknotes of both versions remain legal tender.
Obverse Manuel L. Quezon

Reverse Malacañan Palace
Color Orange
Descriptio The front side of the 20-piso banknote features Manuel L. Quezon, first president of the Commonwealth of
n the Philippines. The bill was completely redesigned and new elements regarding Quezon's accomplishments
were added on the right side, namely the establishment of Filipino as the Philippine national language
(Wikang Pambansa), the coat-of-arms of the Commonwealth and the approval of the 1935 Constitution
(Saligang Batas1935). In 1937, the National Language Institute was founded to establish a single national
language for the Philippines. This eventually became the Filipino language, which is largely based on
Tagalog. The second was the "Saligang Batas 1935" or the 1935 Constitution of the Philippines. This was the
first real constitution that was nationally effected and large parts of it survive in the current constitution. The
reverse side of the 20-Piso banknote depicts Malacañan Palace, the residence of the President of the
Philippines, along the banks of the Pasig River. Quezon was the first Philippine president to live in the
Palace.

n the Philippines. He served as president from 1944, after Quezon's death, to 1946, when the United States
granted the Philippines' independence. The National Museum is featured on the reverse side of the
banknote. This building used to be the Legislative Building, where the House of Representatives that
Osmena presided over as Speaker from 1907-1922 was located. In 2001, the name of the Old Legislative
Building on the reverse side was changed to "National Museum" (Gusali ng Pambansang Museo), to reflect
the turnover made by Congress to the National Museum.

EDSA People Power II
Color Green
Descriptio The first 200-piso note denomination appeared in the English series, but was excluded in the Pilipino and
n ABL Series. In 2002, it was reintroduced to bridge the gap between 500-piso and 100-piso and to
commemorate the Philippine independence when General Emilio Aguinaldo declared independence from
Spanish colonial rule on 12 June 1898 at the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite and, in the process, made
our country Asia’s first republic. Diosdado Macapagal was responsible for the restoration of the celebration of
Philippine Independence from 4 July 1946 (Independence from American Rule) to 12 June 1898. Macapagal
is also known for his land reform and socio-economic agenda that started the process of economic
liberalization and the shift to a market economy in the Philippines.
The reverse features a scene from EDSA II, with Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Macapagal's daughter, being
sworn in as president by Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. on January 2001. The little girl holding a Bible in

Color Yellow
Descriptio The yellow 500-piso note substantiates the purpose of honoring Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr., whose wife,
n Corazon Aquino, made use of the yellow as her political color. Ninoy was the main driving force behind the
People Power Revolution of 1986, some three years after his death in 1983; to the right of the banknote,
there are two popular quotes from Aquino: "Faith in our people and faith in God", and "The Filipino is worth
dying for", under which is signed his nickname, "Ninoy". There is also the signature of Aquino, a typewriter
with his initials ("B.S.A.J."), and a dove of peace; A Philippine flag is also to the right of his portrait, near the
central part of the front side. The names of the figures on the bills, "Benigno S. Aquino, Jr." is written in gold-
colored, cursive writing with a green laurel wreath as opposed to the name being simply written as with the
other banknotes.

Descriptio Jose Abad Santos-Chief Justice, representing the Philippine government; Josefa Llanes Escoda-civic worker
n representing the women; and, Vicente Lim- a general in the Philippine Army, representing the military. The
Eternal Flame at the Libingan ng mga Bayani and laurel leaves symbolize the respect and honor for the
unknown heroes who gave up their lives for the country in World War II.
The Banaue Rice Terraces, so-called "stairway to heaven", is said to have existed for the last 2000 years,
proof that the Ifugaos, Bontocs and Igorots have been practicing irrigated agriculture for centuries long
before the coming of the Spaniards. The terraces continue to be built and maintained today, using
approximately the same ancient technology. The Manunggul Jar is ancient burial jar dating to as far back as
800 B.C. the handiwork of an ancient artist, the manunggul’s round cover is topped by a miniature funerary
boat with a prow carved in eye motif. It is a depiction of the belief in life after death, a high level concept of
spirituality already present among indigenous Filipinos.

and windowed security thread in addition to the existing security features such as the optically variable ink,
