The coin in question is a 1-cent piece from the Philippines, minted during the time of U.S. sovereignty over the islands in 1917, specifically referenced as part of the "Philippines Under U.S. Sovereignty" series. This bronze coin has a denomination of 1¢ (0.01 USD) and is identified by its year of issuance, 1917, although it carries a unique marking of "1917/6," suggesting some historical significance or series identification. In terms of physical characteristics, the coin lacks specific measurements such as width, height, diameter, and weight, which indicates that these details may not have been preserved or documented accurately. It bears no mint mark, which typically signifies the minting location, and is categorized as a "Mint Strike," indicating it was produced in a controlled environment for circulation. The coin's material composition is bronze, and its mintage is listed as "0," which likely suggests it is either a rare or unique piece, possibly unstruck or a planned issue that never reached production. In summary, this coin represents both a fiscal value of 1¢ in U.S. currency and a collectible piece of history reflecting the transitional period of the Philippines under American rule. Its rarity and historical context could add significant value to collectors interested in numismatics, particularly those specializing in Philippine or U.S. colonial coins.
