This coin is a striking piece from the series known as "Philippines Under U.S. Sovereignty," minted in 1919 in San Francisco, indicated by the mint mark 'S.' It carries the unique attributes of being a U.S. coin, produced specifically for the Philippines during a transitional period of American colonial rule in the region. Measuring 24 millimeters in diameter and weighing 4.7 grams, this coin is composed of bronze. It does not have a specified currency amount but is categorized under varied denominations, reflecting the diverse monetary system in place during that era. With a total mintage of 4,540,000 pieces, this coin was part of a larger effort to standardize currency in the Philippines after the American occupation. Its design and minting are emblematic of the historical connection between the United States and the Philippines, making it a valuable piece for collectors interested in both American numismatics and Philippine history. Despite the noted dimensions for width and height being set at zero, which may imply a focus strictly on the round, flat nature of the coin, its significance lies in its rich historical context and collectible appeal to enthusiasts of coins from this unique era. The combination of its age, material, and minting location contributes to its desirability among collectors and historians alike.
