Lot of 4x Philippines 1868-1885 50 Centavos Spanish Colonial Coins, 4pcs
The culture and history of the Philippines were heavily shaped by Spanish colonization, which began in the middle of the 16th century. To this day, the vast majority of FIlipinos are Roman Catholics, and thousands of Spanish loanwords sprinkle Philippine languages. Even the islands' name comes from Spain, having been named for King Philip II by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. For three hundred years, the Philippines were Spain's only Asian colony, until they lost them and many of their Caribbean territories in the Spanish-American War.
These 50-centavos coins date to the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. One dates to the reign of Isabella II, whilst the other three are Alfonso XII. Isabella's coins are .900 silver, whilst Alfonso's are .835; both weigh about 13 grams.
