"Aling Pag-ibig Pa Ang Hihigit Kaya?"

So.... another coin shot. I wasn't planning on having a mini-series on coins but the threads of fate seemed to form a knot somewhere

Anyway, if you are from the Philippines (or simply a coin nut), you'll notice that this is not the standard issue 10 Peso coin.

After a bit of googling, I found out that:

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) released this commemorative coin to highlight the nationwide celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of Filipino patriot Gat. Andres Bonifacio.
And apparently, "The BSP previously issued one-peso commemorative coins for the 150th birth anniversary of Dr. Jose P. Rizal". My blip yesterday shows the standard issue 1-peso coin. As for the commemorative version, I have not yet laid eyes on that yet.

P.S. The title for this blip is taken from Andres Bonifacio's work "Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Lupa". The original Tagalog and an English translation can be found here.


Hope you guys found this interesting!
