| Additional information |
Issued on the 40th anniversary of the Fall of Bataan and the surrender of Corregidor, this coin commemorates what remains the largest capitulation of American-led forces in history — roughly 76,000 Filipino and American troops taken prisoner in April and May of 1942. The Bataan Death March that followed killed thousands before survivors ever reached Camp O'Donnell.
The 1,500 Piso denomination placed it firmly in commemorative territory, never intended for circulation.
