Additional information

Pattern coinage from the Philippines in 1967 carries unusual political weight. This piece was part of a series of proposed designs associated with Imelda Marcos, then First Lady, whose influence over state imagery and cultural projects was already substantial two years before Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law. Pattern issues of this kind rarely advanced beyond trial striking — the existing centavo designs were retained — leaving these copper pieces confined to a handful of specimens distributed among government officials and collectors.
