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 Peso 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 Mintage of the 1936M Murphy-Quezon Peso was 10,000 coins, however, 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.

The NGC population for the Murphy-Quezon Peso in MS-65 is 32 coins with 15 specimens graded higher. The combined (NGC, PCGS, ANACS) certified population for this coin in MS-65 is 65 coins with 34 specimens graded higher. This NGC MS-65 specimen is a fully struck, untoned, fully brilliant GEM.
