Looks like a nice boost to a collection and I'm a big fan of "family" coins.
Those coin from the Philippines are pretty cool

I think it is great that you got the coins from your father.
I thought I saw a 'good luck' token in the photo with the box. If you have any tokens, you should get your father to tell you where they came from or why they saved them.

You said that one of the proof sets was your birth year. I wonder if your mother may have been putting the coins aside for you.
