Description
The coin is a standard circulating coin under the BSP Series. The obverse features the coin's denomination, which was the first time a 10 sentimo coin did not feature any person or other design elements. The reverse features the BSP seal and the year of its establishment as a legal institution. The coin remains in circulation, but it may be uncommon to see it in everyday usage. This coin was the last time the BSP minted 10-centavo coins for circulation before the denomination was no longer featured in the New Generation Currency Series.
