Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Octavo coin from the Philippines made of Copper is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand VII, who was the last king of Spain to rule over the Philippines before the country gained its independence in 1898. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Spain on the other, symbolizing the country's colonial history and the influence of Spanish rule over the Philippines.
