Comment
Not listed in Krause.Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo (Vulcano) coin from the Island of Panay (Philippine notgeld) made of Copper in 1899 is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic crisis in the Philippines, specifically during the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. The coin was part of a series of coins minted by the revolutionary government to address the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation. The coin's design features a volcano, which symbolizes the island of Panay and its rich natural resources.
