The BSP issued the coin set with 100-Piso, 20-Piso, and 5-Piso denominations in commemoration of the 1898 declaration of Philippine independence (100-Piso) and the birth of the country’s first republic at the Barasoain Church (20-Piso) in Bulacan.
In addition, the issuance of the coins also recalled to mind the bravery of the Filipinos who fought for the country’s sovereignty during the Philippine-American War (5-Piso).
The central bank used the latest digital printing technology in developing the APIN coin set, which features the first colored, non-circulation, commemorative coins produced by the BSP.
The BSP will announce via its social media channels when the APIN coin set will be available for sale.
The coin set will be sold at the BSP Store at this link https://bspstore.bsp.gov.ph/.
With the theme, “Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan.” the National Historical Commission of the Philippines is leading the 125th APIN celebration from 2023 to 2026.
