PHILIPPINES. Bronze Wilson Medallic "Dollar", 1920. Manila Mint. NGC MS-63 Brown.
KMX-11a; HK-450; Allen-M-2. Commemorating the opening of the Manila mint. Rather conservatively graded in the opinion of this cataloger, the present piece offers alluringly lustrous surfaces with a pleasing reddish-brown hue. Though featuring a mintage of 3,700 examples, many were unfortunately dumped into Manila Bay before the Japanese invasion during World War II in order to prevent them from being seized.
From the Pasig River Collection.
Estimate: $800.00- $1000.00
