The 1945 Ten Centavos coin from the Philippines, often associated with the United States due to its colonial history, features a design that symbolizes freedom and progress. It was minted during the period of World War II when the Philippines was under Japanese occupation. The coin typically displays an image of a woman holding a torch on the obverse, with the denomination and date inscribed. Collectors value this piece for its historical significance and connection to the transitional period in Philippine-American history, as well as its relatively low mintage compared to other denominations from the same era.
