This is a 1904 5-cent coin from the Philippines, issued under U.S. sovereignty. As part of a series designed for the islands during American rule, this coin is categorized as "Coins" and is classified as a proof coin, which means it was produced with a special process to create a shiny, mirror-like finish that enhances the details of the design. The coin has no specific mint identified, and its physical dimensions such as weight, diameter, width, and height are not provided. Nonetheless, it has a denomination of 5 cents (USD) and represents the monetary system in effect during this period. The mintage for this coin is listed as zero, which may indicate an error in record-keeping or that it was never issued for general circulation. Due to its unique attributes and historical context, particularly in relation to the Philippines and U.S. relations in the early 20th century, this coin is of considerable interest to collectors and historians alike. It holds significance not only as currency but also as a piece of cultural history reflecting the period. While the specifics related to design and mint-mark are not available, the absence of these details does not diminish its value, as its rarity and proof finish may contribute to its desirability in the numismatic market.
