Lyman Allen #4.12 (KM #164) - Mintage: 1,000,000

The 1925 5 Centavo is the first in the series to be produced by the Manila mint with a mint mark. A sturdy looking block "M" was added at the suggestion of the well known numismatist, Dr. Gilbert S. Perez. These coins tend to be well struck with a full evenly struck field of stars beneath the eagle on the reverse and well defined fingers on the right hand on the male figure on the obverse.

Varieties: None cataloged for this year.

Date acquired: 11/18/2012 (already graded by PCGS)
