Pattern coinage from 1967 Philippines occupies a peculiar niche: Ferdinand Marcos had taken office just the previous year, and early in his administration the central bank was actively exploring redesigned circulating coinage that would prominently feature both Ferdinand and Imelda together — an unusual dual-portrait concept for a circulating denomination. Most such pattern proposals were rejected before reaching production, and lead was the standard material for trial strikings intended purely for design evaluation rather than metallurgical testing.
The pairing never reached official issue. Circulating coinage under Marcos ultimately bore his portrait alone.
