<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 2265789, member: 15488&quot;]My budget does not allow for the very expensive early Philippines mint or proof sets, but this one did. The 1975 Proof set was the first proof set struck by the Philippines since 1908. It introduced 2 new denominations, the 50 and 5 Piso. Both feature President Marcos. The 25 Piso features General Aguinaldo, elected president of the Republic in 1899. Jose Rizal, a national hero is shown on the 1 Piso. Juan Luna, a famous painter is on the 25 Sentimos. Francisco Baltasar on the 10, Melchora Aquino on the 5, and Lapulapa on the 1 Sentimo. The inscription &quot;Ang Bagong Lipunan&quot; translates to &quot;The New Society&quot;. This refers to President Marcos&#039;s program to re-vitalize industry and agriculture. The 50 and 25 Piso combine for 1.2167 oz. of Silver</p><p><br /></p><p>1975 Philippines Proof Set&nbsp; Mintage 36,516</p><p>[ATTACH=full]450591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]450592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
