The 7,500-Piso Gold (top) and 750-Piso Silver commemorative coins were presented to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in Malacanang yesterday in celebration of the 75th anniversary of central banking in the Philippines.
The obverse side of both the gold and silver non-circulation legal tender coins features the Intendencia, also known as the Aduana building, located in Intramuros, Manila. This building served as the first headquarters of the Central Bank of the Philippines.
On the reverse side, the coins show markings of the year “1949,” the 75th-anniversary logo in color, the inscription “CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF CENTRAL BANKING IN THE PHILIPPINES,” the BSP Seal, and the year “2024,”
The designs highlight the diamond anniversary, marking 75 years of central banking in the country.
The BSP minted these coins with a mirror-like finish, utilizing the latest digital printing technology.
The BSP will announce, through its social media channels, when the commemorative coins will be available for purchase. They will be sold via the BSP Store.
