Description

The 1903 (S) Philippine Fifty Centavos represents a San Francisco Mint issue from the Philippines Fifty Centavos 1903-1945 series. The obverse features a female figure standing beside an anvil, similar to but larger than the twenty centavos and the reverse displays an eagle above a shield. Produced during the Progressive Era, when President Theodore Roosevelt championed a renaissance in American coin design that produced some of the most beautiful coins ever struck. Coined at the San Francisco Mint, which transitioned from Gold Rush-era production to its modern role producing proof and collector issues. Struck in silver, weighing 3.6 grams, 24 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #90343.
