Interesting fact

The 25 Sentimo coin from the Philippines features the portrait of Lapu-Lapu, a native warrior who is credited for the death of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe in the early 16th century. Lapu-Lapu is considered a national hero in the Philippines, and his image on the coin serves as a symbol of Filipino bravery and resistance against foreign oppression.
