DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
This is a 1935-M Philippine 10 Centavos silver coin — a 90-year-old piece struck at the Manila Mint, as identified by the "M" mint mark. One of the more collectible inter-war dates in the U.S. Administration Philippine series, the 1935-M holds a special historical significance: it was struck just one year before the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935, marking the transition from direct U.S. territorial administration toward eventual self-governance and independence.
The Manila Mint "M" mint mark is particularly prized by collectors as it represents coins actually produced on Philippine soil — a direct contrast to the stateside San Francisco and Denver strikes of the wartime era. Coins struck in Manila carry a unique local provenance, having been manufactured in the same city where they would circulate, making them an authentic artifact of everyday life in pre-war Philippine society.
The 1935-M was produced in the final years of the classic U.S. Administration design series, before the transition to the Commonwealth coinage designs. The obverse features the seated female figure with hammer and anvil, while the reverse carries the American bald eagle over a shield — a design pairing that defined Philippine coinage for nearly four decades of American administration.
Obverse: Female figure with hammer and anvil — Philippine Islands legend
Reverse: American bald eagle over shield — "United States of America" legend
