Description
Issued to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of President Manuel L. Quezon, this 1978 silver proof set honours the legacy of the first President of the Philippine Commonwealth. Quezon was a champion of social justice and a key figure in the country’s path to independence.

This release remains a significant numismatic tribute to Philippine history and leadership, appealing to collectors of Asian coinage and commemorative silver issues.
