Owner's Description

.750 Silver, 10.0 Grams, 27 mm. Mintage 20,000 (The actual number of existing coins is far less as many of these coins were crated and thrown into Manila Bay, near Corregidor, in 1942 to avoid seizure by the invading forces of Japan.) In 1936 the Manila Mint produced a set of three coins to commemorate the founding of the Commonwealth Of The Philippines on November 15,1935. The obverse design of the Murphy-Quezon Fifty Centavos features portraits of the first Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon and U.S. Governor General Frank Murphy. The reverse design depicts the official seal of "The Commonwealth of the Philippines". The NGC population for this coin in MS 65 is thirty-two specimens with only five coins graded higher. The combined (NGC, PCGS, ANACS) certified population for the 1936 Murphy-Quezon Fifty Centavos in MS65 is fifty-six coins with only eight coins graded higher. This NGC MS-65 specimen is a fully struck, silver toned GEM.
