The 1945 Five Centavos coin from the Philippines is part of the series issued during the American occupation, reflecting the influence of U.S. currency. Made primarily from copper and nickel, it features the national insignia on one side and the denomination on the reverse. Its scarcity, historical context, and connection to the post-World War II era contribute to its appeal among collectors of both U.S. and Philippine numismatics. Coins from this period often showcase the transitional nature of currency in regions under American administration.
