1897 Alfonso XIII is the FIRST and LAST One peso silver coin of the Philippines bearing the name Islas Filipinas. One year after its 1897 mintage, Spanish rule in the Philippine Islands officially ended with the 1898 Treaty of Paris, wherein Spain ceded the Philippines and other territories to the United States. Thus making this Un Peso circulation shortlived with full historic background.

US TRADE DOLLAR

The US trade dollar was made for circulation in Asia. It was made in order to compete with other dollar coins from different countries.
The first trade dollars were struck in 1873, and the majority of the coins were sent to China. Eventually, bullion producers began converting large amounts of silver into trade dollars, causing the coins to make their way into American commercial channels. This caused frustration among those to whom they were given in payment, as the coins were largely maligned and traded for less than one dollar each. In response to their wide distribution in American commerce, the coins were officially demonetized in 1876, but continued to circulate. Production of business strikes ended in 1878, though the mintage of proof coins officially continued until 1883. The trade dollar was re-monetized when the Coinage Act of 1965 was signed into law.

History of the British Trade Dollar

In 1895 the British Trade Dollar was introduced following the need for British Merchants to trade freely in the Orient without having to rely on the supply of foreign silver coins.
A British coin with an eastern feel, the British Trade Dollar was minted exclusively for use in the Far East. It depicted, for the first time on a coin, a helmet-wearing Britannia holding a trident and the British shield with a merchant ship in the background.

These silver coins were issued to the same specification as the famous Spanish Dollar – the international trade coin of the time and most trusted silver coin in the Orient trade. The need for a coin unrelated to a foreign country’s mint or silver supplies, which could be minted on demand allowed British Merchants to take advantage of the silk, porcelain spice and tea trade in the Orient which flourished at the end of the First O***m War.

STANDING LIBERTY QUARTER DOLLAR

Standing Liberty Quarters, regardless of their condition, are a prized catch for any collector, but it must be stated that collectors without a doubt only want to get their hands on those coins that have been well-preserved through the years. Unfortunately, because of how popular these coins were to use, not many have survived in great condition.

When it was first introduced, American citizens immediately fell in love with the Standing Liberty Quarter. Playing off the name of the earlier Seated Liberty, the Standing Liberties boasted a beautiful design that was as intricate as any coin of its day. Even though these coins were minted for less than 15 years, they have staked their claim in history as one of the most beautiful quarter designs ever thought up.

Minted from 1916-1930, the Standing Liberty had only a short stay in circulation. Nowadays, these coins are being bought up by collectors. Available in a wide range of conditions, the Standing Liberties are being bought up at a high rate. Of course, it is those coins that are in extremely good condition that catch the eyes of collectors first and foremost.

The real was a currency of Mexico, issued until 1897. There were 16 silver reales to 1 gold escudo, The peso, which circulated alongside the real and eventually replaced it, was equal to 8 reales.
With the adoption of the 1824 republican constitution, the United Mexican States began issuing coins. There were silver ½, 1, 2, 4 and 8 reales, and gold ½, 1, 2, 4 and 8 escudos, with silver ¼ reales added in 1842. Copper coins for 1⁄16, ⅛ and ¼ real were issued both by the Federal government at the Mexico City mint and by the state governments at various mints around the country.
On the republic's coins, the Mexican eagle moved to the obverse, with the legend "República Mexicana". The reverse featured a liberty cap with rays behind. The legend on the reverse reads "-denomination- -mintmark- -date- -assayer's initials- 10 Ds. 20 Gs." Mexico used the medieval system of dineros and granos to measure the fineness of their coins, twelve dineros designating pure silver with each dinero divided into 24 granos. A coin of 10 Ds. 20 Gs equated to .902777 fine.
