Owner Comments:

Philippines - 1947S MacArthur One Peso - Allen #R-2 (KM #185) - Mintage: 100,000

The Douglas MacArthur 50 Centavos and One Peso coins were the first coinage of the new "Republic of the Philippines." Both of these coins were designed by Laura Gardin Frasier and struck at the San Francisco Mint, with the "S" mint mark appearing just below the date on the reverse.

This particular coin is a beautiful clean white example of this issue.

Date acquired: 12/23/2007 (Already graded by NGC)
