Jayson Valued Member Canada 55 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 5:26 pm These are two Philippine 1 Piso coins. The one one the left is 1985 and the the one on the right is 1990. From 1983-1989 these coins are supposed to have "larger legend and design elements" and from 1989-1990 they're supposed to have "smaller legend and design elements." Aside from the 1990 coin having a significantly thicker rim, I can't tell any difference in font size or anything else. Other than the thicker rim, are there any differences here? Or does having a thicker rim automatically mean that the legend must be smaller? Report this Post to the Staff

Jayson Valued Member Canada 55 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 6:34 pm the rims are a bit thicker on the obverse of the 1990 coin, but not at pronounced a difference as the reverse. Other than that I can't see any difference. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 6:48 pm I don't see anything that would call for a different type, even .1 to .3 I wonder if it is another of Krause's flukes. Don's World Coin Gallery puts all pisos 1983 - 1990 into a single type. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayson Valued Member Canada 55 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 7:10 pm I think a case could be made for calling one "thin rims" and the other "thick rims." I have a large type 1989 and it has the same thick rims. If they called it that, I think I could easily tell the difference between, say, two 1989 varieties. It's just the "legend" and "elements" wording that throws me off. Edited by Jayson 05/24/2012 7:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jayson Valued Member Canada 55 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 4:16 pm Yeah, you can use these images if you want. Report this Post to the Staff
mrbrklyn New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/23/2012 6:30 pm Thanks. You might release it to wikipedia. they seem to be having problems getting a photograph of it and the Philippines evidently doesn't have laws preventing copyright of coinage like other countries....whatever.
