Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the 1872 execution of Fathers Mariano Gómez, José Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora — collectively remembered as GOMBURZA — this coin commemorates an event whose political fallout arguably triggered the Philippine revolutionary movement. The three secular priests were garroted at Bagumbayan on charges of complicity in the Cavite Mutiny, charges widely regarded even then as fabricated by Spanish colonial authorities seeking to suppress Filipino clergy agitating for equal standing with Spanish-born priests.
José Rizal later cited the execution as the event that convinced his family, and ultimately himself, that reform under Spain was impossible. The anniversary fell in 2022 under the final year of the Duterte administration.
