Philippine twenty-five-centavo coin
The twenty-five-sentimo coin (25¢) coin is the third-lowest denomination coin of the Philippine peso. During Spanish administration, coins valued at a Spanish dollar (or peso) or two reales issued by Spain and Spanish America were generally accepted in the Philippines for 25 centimos. Following the 1864 release of the 20-centimo coin, however, a 25-centimo denomination was not issued until the end of the Spanish and American administrations. The first coin of the independent Philippines to be worth a quarter of a peso was issued in 1958 as twenty-five centavos (the name for the sub-unit under American rule). Its obverse featured a woman near a volcano. The denomination was written in English around its outside with the year at the bottom.
