Coins also reflect a country’s cultures and traditions, and are powerful tools of communication and identification as a nation. Today, the BSP is proud to present the new 20-Piso coin which will now be the highest denomination in the New Generation Currency Coin Series.
Prominently featured on the obverse of the 20-Piso coin is Manuel L. Quezon, the first president of the Philippine Commonwealth who advocated the adoption of the national language; created the National Economic Council, the precursor of the National Economic Development Authority; and worked passionately to regain Philippine independence.
