The twenty-five-sentimo coin (25¢) is the third-lowest denomination coin of the Philippine peso. During Spanish administration, coins valued at 1 ⁄ 4 a Spanish dollar (or peso ), equivalent to two reales , issued by Spain and Spanish America, were generally accepted in the Philippines as 25 centimos.
The rest of the series was released March 2018 consisting of 1, 5 and 25-sentimo and 1, 5 and 10-piso. A 20-peso coin was added to the series on December 17, 2019, in order to replace the overused 20-piso banknote with a coin that could last 10–15 years longer in circulation.
