Some info:
The Americans instituted a monetary system for the Philippine based on gold and pegged the Philippine peso to the American dollar at the ratio of 2:1. The US Congress approved the Coinage Act for the Philippines in 1903.

The coins issued under the system bore the designs of Filipino engraver and artist, Melecio Figueroa. Coins in denomination of one-half centavo to one peso were minted. The renaming of El Banco Espanol Filipino to Bank of the Philippine Islands in 1912 paved the way for the use of English from Spanish in all notes and coins issued up to 1933. Beginning May 1918, treasury certificates replaced the silver certificates series, and a one-peso note was added.











My dad had these similar coins when I grew up ('70's/'80's) and my guess is they're not worth much more than melt value - were minted by U.S. for use in the Philippine Islands - my dad stationed in Mindanao Islands as his Germanic name excluded him from serving in Europe.

I can't put an exact value on your coins but I'm afraid it's not much. They are very common.

I believe those coins are partially silver: the Pesos are .5144 oz, and the 1907 50 Centavos is .2411 and I can't make out that other date.
So they do have melt value that is probably above their face value.

These coins were minted in the Philippines during the U.S.A administration. Unless there are any key dates in there, in that condition, they are worth melt value.

Rough guess is you've got around 25 to 30$ in silver melt value.
