Philippines, peso, 1936, Murphy and Quezon, possible contemporary forgery. KM-178. 15.5 grams. Corrosion-free XF, cleaned like the others, but with several tiny "pimples" on the surfaces and low weight that lead us to believe this coin was a forgery done in the 1930s and circulated with the genuine coins up until the sinking, which makes it that much more fascinating! From: "Manila Bay treasure," dumped off the Philippines in 1942
