| Obverse description | A standing allegorical female figure representing the Filipino people is depicted in left profile, her right hand striking a hammer upon an anvil, symbolizing industry and labor. Behind her to the right rises a smoking volcano, representing the active natural landscape of the Philippine archipelago. The legend ONE PESO arcs along the upper field, with FILIPINAS inscribed below, flanking the central device. The design, engraved by Melecio Figueroa, reflects a confident colonial-era allegorical style combining classical composition with local symbolism. |
