This attractive Red GEM is a well preserved example of the Pre-World War II Commonwealth of the Philippines One Centavo. The obverse design is the same as the 1903 - 1944 One Centavo and is boldly struck, The reverse design featuring the Seal of the CommonWealth of the Philippines was adopted for use on all regular issue US Philippine coins in 1937 and is typically weakly struck on Pre-World War II coinage. Although this specimen shows weakness in the center of the commonwealth seal it is better struck than average.
