The aluminium 10 Sentimo belongs to the "Ang Bagong Lipunan" coinage series introduced under Marcos, though by 1983 the regime was entering its terminal phase. The assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. that August triggered capital flight, a peso crisis, and eventually the 1986 People Power Revolution — yet the Bangko Sentral continued striking this type straight through the political upheaval, into the early Aquino and Ramos administrations, with no design change marking the transition.
