The 1903-S Twenty Centavos is the KEY COIN to the Twenty Centavos series. With a mintage of only 150,000 and many specimens lost during the great silver melt of 1906 and the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during the second World War there are only a handful of surviving specimens in any grade. At XF45 this specimen is a nice problem free example of this elusive date and mint mark.
