This outstanding 1962 Republic of the Philippines 25 Centavos specimen features the iconic "Blacksmith" design, displaying a standing woman with an anvil set against a smoking Mount Mayon volcano. The piece is in choice, completely Uncirculated / Mint State (MS-61 to MS-62) condition, retaining beautiful original factory mint frost and cartwheel luster across its surfaces. A detailed close-up look reveals pristine design preservation, showcasing crisp lines in the wind-swept hair strands, bold gown drapery, and sharp details on the reverse Central Bank Coat of Arms shield. Free of any pocket wear or cleaning, the surfaces display only the faint contact ticks and natural alloy graininess expected of a true, untouched mint-bag survivor. This eye-appealing coin is an exceptional addition for advanced world numismatists or collectors seeking an elite type-set example from mid-20th-century Philippine history.
