Philippines - 1964 5 Centavos - (KM #187) - Mintage: 100,000,000
Minted by the
Royal Mint of England
The imagery on the coins struck by the Royal Mint of England is nowhere near as unattractive as those struck by the Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke, A.G. private mint, but they certainly do not do justice to the original designs by Melicio Figueroa as executed by the U.S. Mints. Despite that, the strike is great and surface marks are very minimal. MS66 is an admirable grade
Date acquired: 12/24/2006 (raw coin)
Date graded: 8/19/2022 (self submitted to NGC)
