I have no other info on this token but I guess this token is a gift from the Spanish government to the Philippines after America liberated us from the Japanese forces during World War 2. Julio 4, 1946 as its date maybe to signify also the Philippine-American frienship day that is the same date as America's Independence Day. Report this Post to the Staff

I brought a number of coins home but none as nice as that. I wish I could find them; probably lost in a move. Thank you for sharing.

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 08/22/2010 10:06 pm In Colin Bruces' "Unusual World Coins" there is a similar item under the Philippines. It is the only entry under "Token Coinage". It is X#Tn1 using the same design as yours but the indication is that it is dated 1846 not 1946. It is gold 1.850 grams and 15 mm. The book lists a value of $85 in XF with no other comments about origin. Report this Post to the Staff

We may notice the looks of Queen Isabel II during 1849 and the precendent years is far different from the first issue of 1861 coins. We may also see the 2D (letter "D" that indicates dollar sign) What I am confused is the 4th of July commemoration of what incident. Report this Post to the Staff
