Interesting fact
The 5 Piso (Leyte Gulf Landing) coin from the Philippines, made of Nickel brass and weighing 9.453g, features an error on its reverse side. The coin was minted in 1994 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Leyte Gulf Landing, a significant event in World War II. However, the coin's reverse side erroneously depicts a map of the Philippines with the island of Leyte located in the wrong position. Instead of being placed in the eastern part of the archipelago, Leyte is shown in the northern part, near the island of Luzon. This error was not corrected, and the coin was still released into circulation. As a result, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its unique mistake.
