The coin in question is a five-cent piece (5¢) issued in 1935 during the period when the Philippines was under U.S. sovereignty. This particular coin is representative of a unique chapter in Philippine history, reflecting both its American influence and its distinct identity. It has a diameter of 19mm and weighs 4.75 grams, constructed from a copper-nickel alloy, which gives it durability and a characteristic shine. It was produced through a mint strike process, although the specific mint responsible for its production is unknown, and the coin does not carry a mint mark. With a total mintage of 2,754,000, this coin was quite common at the time it was minted. Today, its value can vary based on factors such as condition, demand, and market fluctuations. As part of the broader series of coins issued during the American governance of the Philippines, this 1935 five-cent piece serves not only as currency but also as a historical artifact that collectors and historians seek to preserve.
