The obverse of this TOP POP GEM is boldly struck. The reverse strike is better than most 1938 One Centavos but exhibits weakness in the lower left portion of the Commonwealth Coat-Of-Arms and in the lettering on the left side of the Scroll. The inscription "COMMONWEALTH OF"on the Scroll's ileft side is not readable but the inscription "THE PHILIPPINES" on the right side of the scroll is boldly struck.
