Issuance Period: This specific type of Five Centavos coin with the Philippine coat of arms on the reverse was issued from 1937 to 1945 during the American rule of the Philippines, following the Spanish-American War.
Minting Locations: While earlier Philippine coins were minted in Manila, the 1944 and 1945 Five Centavos coins were minted in the United States – specifically at the Philadelphia Mint (without a mint mark) and the San Francisco Mint (with an "S" mint mark).
Composition: Due to wartime needs for copper and nickel, the 1944 and 1945 Five Centavos coins were made from a wartime alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc (65% copper, 23% zinc, and 12% nickel), differing from earlier compositions.
Historical Context: These coins were brought to the Philippines by American forces during the liberation in 1944-1945, as pre-war coins had largely disappeared from circulation during the Japanese occupation.
