| Reverse description | A forward-facing bust of Emilio Aguinaldo, youthful in appearance and attired in a military uniform with epaulettes, is portrayed in high relief at the center of the field. The dates 1869 and 1969 flank the portrait at mid-field, denoting the centennial span of his birth. The Tagalog legend IKASANDAANG TAONG KAARAWAN arcs around the upper periphery, and the subject's name EMILIO AGUINALDO is inscribed along the lower arc. A beaded inner border frames the entire design. |

Produced for the centennial of Emilio Aguinaldo's birth, this pattern was struck by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas as part of a broader commemorative program exploring designs that never entered circulation. Aguinaldo's complicated historical standing — revolutionary hero against Spain, president of the short-lived First Philippine Republic, but also a figure implicated in the assassination of rival Andres Bonifacio — made him a politically charged choice for a national coin even in 1966.
The silver-plated copper construction marks this unambiguously as a presentation or trial piece rather than a proposed circulating issue.
