    OBVERSE

    REVERSE Philippine two-peso coin

    Produced by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas between


    1983 and 1994, the Philippine two-peso coin was
    demonetized in 1998. Featuring andres bonifacio on
    the obverse and cocos nucifera written in the reverse
    side of the coin.

    In 1861, the Spaniards introduced the two-peso gold coin,


    containing 3.38 grams of 0.875 fine gold. The coin featured a
    profile of Isabel II on the obverse and the Coat of arms of Spain
    on the reverse. In 1983, the BSP introduced the Flora and Fauna
    Series, featuring a decagon-shaped coin with Andrés
    Bonifacio's profile and the Coconut Tree on the reverse. The
    original 1983 coin was replaced by the Improved Flora and
    Fauna Series in 1991. The two-peso coin was not included in the
    BSP Series. In 1998, the ₱2 coin and other coins in the original
    and Improved Series were withdrawn, making the coin officially
    demonetized.

    Liberty Head nickel


    REVERSE
    The Liberty Head nickel is an American five-cent coin that is
    also known as the V nickel due to its reverse (or tails)
    design. At least five pieces were privately made with the
    year 1913, and it was struck for circulation between 1883
    and 1912. The goddess of Liberty is depicted on the left side
    of the obverse.

    Joseph Wharton, an industrialist with interests in nickel mining and


    production, introduced the Shield nickel in 1866. However, the coin faced
    technical issues, and the mint considered replacing it in 1867. Wharton aimed
    to increase nickel sales to the US Mint, leading to the creation of the bronze
    cent. In 1881, Mint Superintendent Archibald Loudon Snowden ordered Mint
    Chief Engraver Charles Barber to produce uniform designs for a new cent,
    three-cent nickel, and five-cent piece. The proposed designs featured a
    classic head of Liberty with the legend "Liberty" and the date, a wreath of
    wheat, cotton, and corn around a Roman numeral, and a denomination of "V".
    Barber produced the required designs, and the nickel was endorsed by Mint
    authorities. However, Treasury Secretary Charles J. Folger rejected the
    design, stating that the laws required "United States of America" to appear
    on the reverse, not the obverse. The revised design was approved, and the
    coin was ready for striking in early 1883.
