Spanish Philippine Coins
The Spanish Philippine coins are coins minted from 1861 to 1898. For more than 300 years of Spanish colonization of the Philippines, there was an influx of gold and silver coins flowing through the Philippines, especially during the days of the Galleon Trade. However, these coins were not minted in the Philippines. These coins came from other Spanish colonies and countries trading with the Philippines.
We can consider that the highlight of the Spanish Philippine coins started after the construction of Real Casa de la Moneda y Timbre de Manila. With the establishment of the first known Philippine mint, the mint began minting gold and silver coins of the Philippines from 1861 to 1898 with the exception of Alfonsinos 1C, 2C, and 1P which were minted in Spain.
Isabelinas - 1P, 2P, 4P gold coins 1861-1868, 10C & 20C 1864-1868 and 50C 1865-1868 silver coins
Alfonsos - 4P gold coins and 10C, 20C, 50C silver coins 1880-1885
Alfonsinos - 1C & 2C copper coins 1894 and 1P silver coins 1897
What's unique about the gold Isabelinas and the alfonsinos is that they contain the name of the Philippines.
