One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from the Philippines, minted between 1937 and 1945, is that it was made of a unique silver-copper alloy, with 75% silver and 25% copper. This composition was used to reduce the cost of producing the coin, as silver was a more expensive metal at the time. Despite the coin's relatively low value, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it was produced during a time of great change and upheaval in the Philippines.
