FILIPINO SERIES COINS
1967-1974
Republic Coinage
Pilipino Series Coin - Regular Coinage
The new series of 1967 Philippine issues are the first coins for ordinary circulation with Tagalog inscriptions and portraits of Filipino heroes. All were struck at the San Franciso and Philadelphia Mints but they carry no mintmarcks.
All the coins of the Pilipino series (1967-1974) were struck at the U.S. Mint except for a part of the 1972 50c which was minted by the Chartered Industries of Singapore.
Drastic yet long-desired reforms in the government generated by the imposition of martial law and the concomitant establishment of a "New Society" in 1972 had entirely changed all aspects of life in the country and its coinage, against which criticisms have been mounting (bulkiness and confusing sizes) during the previous years, was not spared the winds of change.
