10 centavos issued 1907-1945. In 1903, the 10-centavo coin equivalent to US$0.05 was minted for the Philippines, weighing 2.7 grams (0.095 oz) of 0.9 fine silver. Its specifications were reduced from 1907 to 2.0 grams (0.071 oz) of 0.75 fine silver; this was minted until 1945.
From 1903 to 1906, the silver coins had a silver content of 90%, while those struck after 1906 had a reduced silver content of 75% for 10 through 50 centavos and 80% for the peso.
