BSP presents Marcos with P7,500, P750 commemorative coins

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Tuesday presented President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. with 7,500-Piso Gold and 750-Piso silver commemorative coins.

The coins celebrated the 75th anniversary of the country's central bank.

According to the BSP, the obverse side of the gold and silver non-circulation legal tender coins featured the Intendencia, also known as the Aduana Building, in Intramuros, Manila.

The Intendencia served as the first headquarters of the Central Bank of the Philippines.

Meanwhile, on the reverse side, the coins show markings of the year ''1949,'' the 75th-anniversary logo in color, the inscription ''Celebrating 75 Years of Central Banking in the Philippines,'' the BSP Seal, and the year ''2024.''

The BSP minted these coins with a mirror-like finish, utilizing the latest digital printing technology.

The BSP will announce when the commemorative coins will be available for purchase. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
