Additional information

This 1967 pattern was produced as part of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas's effort to redesign Philippine coinage around nationalist figures following the country's postwar reassertion of cultural identity. Juan Luna, the 19th-century painter whose 1884 canvas Spoliarium won a gold medal at the Madrid Exposition of Fine Arts, was a deliberate choice — his prominence in the ilustrado movement made him politically legible as a hero untangled from American colonial iconography. The copper composition was ultimately rejected for circulating coinage at this denomination.
