@Dearborn Philippines coins issued during the American administration have a really beautiful design.

I only wish this one was in better shape. it is silver though..

It may have been underwater in Manila Bay for a while. Silver coins were hidden at sea before the occupying Japanese army arrived during WWII.

Well 'if' that is the case, I'll try to not de-gunk it and leave it as is. Thanks t360, you make a very good point, something I did not know..

I just realized that your 10 centavos coin is dated 1945. The Americans fought hard that year to retake the islands from the Japanese, who finally surrendered in August, 1945. So your coin may have come along with General MacArthur's troops for use in the newly liberated areas.
