| Beschrijving keerzijde | The quartered royal coat of arms of Spain, surmounted by an open royal crown, occupies the central field. The shield displays the traditional castles of Castile and lions of León in the first and fourth quarters, with the fleurs-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty in the central escutcheon and the House of Braganza arms below. Flanking the shield are the two Pillars of Hercules, each wrapped with a ribbon bearing the motto 'PLUS ULTRA.' The denomination '4 P.' appears to the left of the shield and 'FILIPINAS' arcs prominently along the lower legend, with 'REY CONST·. DE ESPAÑA' forming the upper legend, all separated by six-pointed stars. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Spain authorized gold coinage for the Philippines under Alfonso XII specifically to address the chronic shortage of high-value specie in the archipelago, where trade with China and the broader Asian market demanded reliable gold instruments. The Manila mint, reestablished in 1861 after a long dormancy, struck these in comparatively small quantities across the five-year run.
KM#151 is notably scarce in any grade — surviving examples suggest limited circulation, likely absorbed quickly into mercantile hoarding rather than everyday exchange.
