I bought this coin together with the other One Peso Silver Jose Rizal Commemorative Coin for Php2,075.00 as a set or for two coins. At that time silver worth at USD41.0/ounce, which I believed it’s still a reasonable price. I’m looking forward to obtain a Philippine Postal Stamp issued also on 1961 to place with this coin to complete the set.
