Help On 1958-1964 English Series Philippine 50 Cents.

howdy sir.. I don't know how the term applies but they call these coins English series.I think yes it refers to United States because the obverse of the coins depicts which was in the obverse of the "former" Philippines/U.S coins dated 1903-1940's which maybe it "says"
still in the Era of English (Americans) because after that the coins/notes were called Pilipino series, then ABL series, then new design series...

to answer it somewhat not coin related. yes the word "English" most in our town are being always reffered to as Americans.. some while ago in most provinces here in the cordilleras any "white" person is also always referred to as "Americano", we don't know many whites by then except maybe the well traveled..

thanks for enlightening me for the mintage and prices.. I thought 1958 50 cents has only mintage of 1,000 pieces. wew!

Mabuhay baguiobookstore,

I'm not sure why you would call these english series. Up until 1945 all coins from the Philippines were minted in the United States. In 1946 when the Philippines was granted independence the US stopped minting coins with the inscription United States of America, actually I believe no new coins were issued until 1958 when the Republic decimal coinage was issued by the Philippine government.
