| Obverse description | The shield-shaped coat of arms of the Republic of the Philippines occupies the central field, featuring a rayed sun in the upper half and a lion passant to the right alongside an eagle displayed to the left in the lower half. Three five-pointed stars are positioned above the shield, one at top center and one on each side. A scroll below the shield bears the inscription REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. The circumferential legend CENTRAL BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES runs along the upper border, with a small dot at the lower border completing the design. |

| Additional information |
This series was struck during the Magsaysay-to-Macapagal transition years, a period when the Central Bank was actively managing a heavily controlled exchange rate that would eventually collapse into the 1962 decontrol program — the most significant shift in Philippine monetary policy since independence. The decontrol effectively ended the peso's artificial peg to the dollar and triggered immediate inflation, which accelerated coin hoarding and sharply reduced the practical circulation of this denomination in its final years of issue.
