We buy barilla coins.
————-
The first historically documented copper coin made in the Philippines was the barrilla dated 1766. At that time, Don Domingo de la Sierra, senior regidor of the municipal council, requested authorization to produce these coins because of the scarcity of minor coinage in Manila. Sierra's request was granted, with the stipulation that only 5000 pesos' worth should be coined, and that these should be used only for petty payments. The coin is a small round copper, approximately 18 mm. in diameter. The design on the obverse is that of a castle within a circle in the center and' a crown on top, and the legend around reads: "CIUDAD D MAN. 1766". The reverse bears a crowned shield with a sea lion holding up a sword. The number" 1" is on the right of the shield, and on the left is the monogram "BA ", which can be interpreted as interlaced letters "B" and "A", or "B", "A", and "R". This coin had the value of one grana of a tomin, or 1/1 2th of a rea/. (The tomin was 1/8 of a peso, or equivalent to one real, and divisible into 12 granos).

FIL-Hispanic 1868 FOUR PESO GOLD COIN
——————

The first specimen was lot 25278 in Heritage sale 3019 (Chicago, April 2012), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "Isabella II gold 4 Pesos 1868, MS62 NGC, a very pleasant example of this final year of issue, a number of abrasions but all tiny, premium gold toning. Scarce in this grade." The second specimen was lot 22432 in Heritage sale 3021 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $822.50.

The catalog description[2] noted, "Spanish Philippines. Isabel II gold 4 Pesos 1868, MS62 PCGS. Sharply struck, with full, bright luster and a few light contact marks. Scarce in nice Mint State." This coin is the same weight and fineness as a Mexican two escudos or a Spanish eighty reales de vellon.
The Philippines were conquered by Spain in the late 1500's. Other than introducing Christianity, the colonizers made little effort to develop the islands which gradually fell into the hands of the friars. Manila was important only as a way station on the route from China to Mexico and whatever coins were used there were derived therefrom. Crude, locally produced copper coins were issued c.1798-1835 and in the 1830's large quantities of Latin American pesos were counterstamped "F.7" or "Y.II" for local circulation. Finally, about 1860, a reforming government in Madrid sent the resources to reorganize the Manila mint and modern coinage began. These included gold one, two and four pesos (struck 1861-68).

Recorded mintage: 36,000 plus 51 million restrikes per the SCWC.
Specification: 6.77 g, .875 fine gold, .190 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: Fr-1, KM 144.

Lyman Allen #4.08b (KM #173) -
5 CENTAVOS obverse MULED with
20 CENTAVO reverse

Regular Mintage: 2,780,000 (variety mintage unknown) This coin is a mule of the

1918-S 20 CENTAVO reverse die with the
5 CENTAVO obverse on a copper-nickel 5 Centavo planchet.

Unlike the 1928-M 20 Centavo mule which was intentionally struck, this mule was not and consequently very few examples exist. The 5 centavo dies were only 0.5mm smaller than the 20 centavo dies in 1918, and the reverse designs were also very similar, so it's easy to see how this mule could have been inadvertently created. The most distinctive difference between the two is the size of the date. The date on the normal 5 Centavo reverse is much larger. The shield on the normal 5 Centavos coin is also broader than that of the mule.

This is one of the key coins to the entire US/Philippine series. I purchased this coin very early on in my collecting of US/Philippine coins, and it was already in an old style ANACS holder with a grade of F12. It's not a high grade example, but it has not been cleaned or otherwise tampered with as so many US/Philippine coins have. I debated almost 10 years before deciding to send it to NGC for crossover. In the end, I'm glad I did, but the new policy of removing the coin from the ANACS holder before evaluating it is a pretty scary proposition.

It is interesting to note the the obverse appears to have been struck through a small piece of wire or fiber which can be seen running across the male figures left ankle and right knee. The obverse also seems to be more worn than the reverse. I was hoping for an upgrade to VF20 based on the reverse, but the obverse is probably correctly graded at F15.

—————————
In 1903 and 1904, the US mint at Philadelphia struck bronze-minted half centavo coins for circulation.[3] Eventually, the coin was withdrawn from circulation because it was rejected by Filipinos for its low value. After 1908, all remaining half centavos were melted.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_half_centavo_coin)

“Renowned collector, “Just Having Fun”, who is the only person ever to have owned both an 1894-S Barber dime (the best known) and the unique 1907 Proof Peso, says, “the 1907 Proof Peso is the far more desirable of these two great rarities. Eight or nine 1894-S dimes exist and the design is nothing special. By contrast, the Proof Peso is unique, and far more beautiful. Yet the finest known 1894-S dime is worth well in excess of $2 million; while I recently sold the unique 1907 Proof Peso for less than half that amount.”
