<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Simms, post: 873463, member: 24789&quot;]As you and I know Ice, the spaniards were in our country ever since ferdinand magellan came and was killed on our islands.&nbsp; The Spanish came for the spices and for an alternate trade route for galleons to mexico and south america for the gold and silver.&nbsp; My best guess is that they are spanish coins minted while they were staying in the Philippines for local currency.&nbsp; That is until the Spanish American war where America kicked the Spanish out and kept the islands under its dominance, soon creating their own US coins for the Philippines to use, for instance the One Peso Filipinas with the hammer and anvil.&nbsp; If that coin is 1903-1906 its has a different worth than a 1907-1912 I believe.&nbsp; There are still many old Spanish relics in the nation. My mothers home town of Dumaguete the oldest standing structure is a Spanish Church built in 1730 something.&nbsp; <span style="color: Red">edited</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
