Philippines - 1964 25 Centavos - (KM #189.1) - Mintage: 49,800,000
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 virtually non-existent. MS67 is the top NGC grade with a population of 5 with none finer. .
Date acquired: 1/9/2024 (Already graded by NGC)
