KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 4:30 pm I cannot see the date, but it's a Philippines 10 centavos. This was minted under US Admin, from 1903-1935 either in Manila or San Francisco. KM #165 (1903-06) was .9 silver and KM #169 (1907-35) was .75 silver. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 4:35 pm It does...just below the striding gal (in Tagalog): Pilipinas. I'm guessing the date is 1921? Report this Post to the Staff
