The set were the first coloured coins that had ever minted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.Interesting fact
The 100 Piso (Independence) 2023 coin from the Philippines made of Nordic gold weighing 15g is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or a symbol of appreciation.
