ONE PAINFUL PART OF THE FILIPINO STORY is the leper colony on Culion Island. This coin really does tell a story that most people don't know about the Philippines.  I started with this 1922 coin because all of these coins have the m counter Mark on the front / obverse. See the photos.  This is not a precious metal coin, but it really is a precious coin.
