English Series (1958 – 1966)

In 1958, the centavo notes were discontinued and a new, entirely base metal coinage was introduced, consisting of bronze 1 centavo, brass 5 centavos and nickel-brass 10, 25 and 50 centavos. The half-peso ceased to exist; the 25-centavo coin replaced the 20-centavo note; 50-, 10- and 5-centavo denominations were maintained. This series was considered demonetized after August 31, 1979, except for the 10-centavo denomination that remained in circulation until 1998.

Pilipino Series (1967 – 1974)

In 1967, the coinage was altered to reflect the use of Filipino names for the currency units. The “Pilipino” coins bore portraits/profiles of Filipino heroes with legends inscribed in Pilipino, the national language. New one-piso coins were put in circulation to replace the one-peso notes. The coins were demonetized after January 2, 1998.

In 1975, the "Ang Bagong Lipunan" series was introduced with different designs, specifications and denominational

mix from the Pilipino series. Aluminum replaced bronze and cupro-nickel replaced nickel-brass coins. The 5-piso coin was introduced while the 50-sentimo coin was deleted in the series. The entire series of ABL coins were also demonetized on January 2, 1998.

Improved Flora and Fauna Series (1991 – 1994)

The sizes of the coins were reduced in 1991 thus the Flora Fauna Series was renamed Improved

Flora and Fauna. Along with this improvement is the introduction of 5-piso coin to replace the 5-piso banknotes and save on the cost of printing considering that 5-piso notes worn out easily. Eventually in

1994, the production of 50-sentimo and 2-piso coins were stopped.
