Yes it's from the Philippines, but it's brass. This is the first series of coins from the Republic of the Philippines, after independence. Notice how the obverse is the same from colonial coins (look in the RedBook) but the reverse has the seal of the republic. |

It is an 1863 but there is a pock mark in the center of the bottom loop of the 8.Thanks for the confirmation.

It's not 1863, but 1963. The Philippine Republic was established after WWII, when the US agreed to give the Philippines her independence.

Yep, definitely 1963. Philippine gold coins from 1863 look nothing like that. This WCG page shows what your coin would look like in better condition. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

O-O! I would venture to say it most likely was buried.
