Lot of 4 Philippines coins/medal: two silver 1 pesos, 1936, Roosevelt and Quezon; one silver 50 centavos, 1936 Murphy and Quezon; and one bronze 1920 "Wilson dollar" medal. 66.7 grams total. The 3 silver coins somewhat corroded but with clear details, but the bronze piece fully intact (just some dark spots), a nice cross-section of the material that the Philippine/American government had to jettison in WWII to avoid capture by the Japanese, who later (ironically) used prisoners of war to recover millions of the coins. Recovered from: "Manila Bay treasure," dumped off the Philippines in 1942
