I think this is a Centavo from the Philippines. The obverse has been completely rubbed/worn smooth. I'm not 100% sure this is what I think it is. It was in my Mom's coin box. Any ideas?

The pictures aren't my best effort.

doesn't appear to be copper/nickel, so I think you're correct and this is a 1915 Philippines 1 centavo

Thank you Jakes Coins! The photo of the obverse shows the true color a bit more. I think you're correct!

@dsk, one way to help us figure out the denomination is by using the weight and diameter. Can you please measure these and add to this thread? Thx.

I think you coin is 5 centavos : Copper-nickel (75% Copper, 25% Nickel)

The reverse of your coin : it looks copper.
