Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from the Island of Panay (Philippine notgeld) made of Copper in 1899 features a unique design, as it was created during a time of economic crisis in the Philippines. The coin was part of a series of coins known as "notgeld," which were issued by local governments to address a shortage of currency caused by the Philippine-American War. The coin's design features a soldier's head on one side and the value of the coin on the other. This coin is a rare and interesting piece of history, and its unique design makes it stand out among other coins from the same time period.
