Along the lower arc, PANGULONG FERDINAND E. MARCOS is inscribed, with the date 1975 at the bottom flanked by two five-pointed stars, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fifth anniversary of Marcos's declaration of martial law — rebranded by his administration as the "New Society" — this gold piece was part of a broader commemorative program the Bangko Sentral produced throughout the 1970s largely for export and collector sale rather than domestic circulation. Hard currency was the point. The coins generated foreign exchange while projecting an image of stability that the regime was eager to sell abroad.
