History
These 2 Piso coins were issued by the Republic of the Philippines during the 1980s and 1990s, featuring Andres Bonifacio, a national hero and founder of the revolutionary movement Katipunan. The coins were minted in copper-nickel and circulated widely as part of the country's decimal currency system. Philippine coins from this era represent an important period in the nation's modern monetary history, commemorating key figures who fought for independence from Spanish colonial rule. Collectors of Philippine numismatics and Southeast Asian currency find these coins appealing for their historical significance and connection to Filipino national identity. The coins are valued by numismatists interested in modern world coins, particularly those focusing on Asian currencies or revolutionary heroes. While common in circulation, well-preserved examples or coins with specific mint marks can attract interest from collectors building comprehensive Philippine coin sets.
