Historical Context:<br>Prior to 1864, coins like the Spanish dollar or peso, and four reales, were accepted as half-peso in the Philippines. The fifty-centavo coin was considered a successor to the pre-Hispanic silver rupee or rupiah, known locally as salapi. <br>Composition:<br>Later issues, such as the 1944-1945 coins, were struck in 75% silver. <br>Design:<br>The coin features a female figure, often interpreted as representing Filipinas, along with an anvil and a hammer, and a volcano (likely Mayon Volcano) in the background. <br>Denomination:<br>The denomination "FIFTY CENTAVOS" appears in English, while "FILIPINAS" (referring to the Philippines) is written in Spanish. <br>Collectibility:<br>These coins are considered collectible items for numismatists and history enthusiasts due to their historical significance, particularly those from the World War II era.
