[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1685301, member: 15445"]The reverse of USA Philippine coins includes the Coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. I always thought that the animal on the COA was a Hippocampus (half horse / half fish). On most of the coins I’ve seen this area of the reverse is typically not well struck. Now that I have a decent example to examine, I don’t think it is a horse head. It looks more like a lion’s head. Does anyone have an example where this area of the reverse is well struck so we can see the animal clearly?[/QUOTE]
