Overview

A silver-colored, 10-sided (decagonal) coin featuring a portrait of Andrés Bonifacio on the obverse and a Coconut Tree on the reverse.

Historical significance

This coin is part of the 'Flora and Fauna Series' issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas from 1983 to 1994, which celebrated prominent Filipino historical figures and the country's unique biological diversity. Andrés Bonifacio is the Father of the Philippine Revolution.

Obverse (front)

Features the profile of Andrés Bonifacio facing left. The legend 'REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS' is along the upper rim, and the year '1991' is at the bottom. His name 'ANDRES BONIFACIO' is inscribed to the left of his portrait.

Reverse (back)

Features a Coconut Tree (Cocos nucifera). The denomination '2 PISO' is clearly marked to the right of the tree trunk. The scientific name 'COCOS NUCIFERA' is visible on the left side of the tree.

Estimated value

$0.20 - $0.50 circulated, $1.50 - $4.00 in high uncirculated grades.

What drives this coin's value

Most value is tied to condition. High-grade uncirculated examples are sought by series collectors. Mint errors like off-center strikes are rare but can command premiums.

Grade assessment

Fine/Very Fine. The coin shows noticeable circulation wear, surface scratches, and minor grime or oxidation spots characteristic of a coin that has spent time in commerce.

Mintage & rarity

Common; high mintage year (hundreds of millions produced across the series years).

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the 10-sided (decagonal) shape, magnetic property (stainless steel is magnetic), and the sharpness of the coconut tree detail. Counterfeits of this low-denomination coin are extremely rare.

Notable varieties & errors

There are minor die variations in the placement of the lettering, but no widely recognized high-value varieties for this specific year.

Similar coins

The 1983-1990 version was larger and made of Copper-Nickel. The 1991-1994 versions are smaller and made of Stainless Steel. It is also often compared to the subsequent BSP Series 2 Piso which is round and features a different design.

Care & preservation

Stainless steel is durable but can still scratch. Store in a PVC-free flip or album. Avoid acidic cleaners; if cleaning is necessary, use only mild soap and water followed by thorough drying.
