| Reverse description | The seal of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas occupies the central field, depicting a stylised emblem composed of a circular device enclosing a sun and rays above horizontal lines representing the sea, with a small eight-rayed sun at the lower centre, all within a gear-wheel border symbolising industry. The legend 'BANGKO SENTRAL NG PILIPINAS' runs along the upper periphery, and the year '1993' — denoting the establishment of the central bank — appears at the base. |

| Additional information |
This series was minted during the BSP's broader coinage rationalization following the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' establishment as an independent institution in 1993, separating it from the Central Bank of the Philippines which had collapsed under the weight of Marcos-era debt obligations. The non-magnetic brass composition distinguishes it from later reformulated issues, a distinction that matters primarily to vending machine operators and collectors sorting by series rather than date.
