Following the Spanish-American War, the United States gained control of the Philippine Islands under the 1898 Treaty of Paris. In 1903, the Philadelphia Mint began making coins for the Philippines based on a Centavos/Pesos monetary system. The Peso was a large silver coin made to the same technical specifications as a U.S. Dollar. Coins issued under U.S. administration bear the names of both the Philippines (Filipinas) and the United States, making them popular with collectors in both countries. Coins were produced at Philadelphia (no mintmark), San Francisco (S), Denver (D), and Manila (M). From 1903 to 1909, and again in 1908, the Philadelphia Mint produced Proof sets containing all seven of the then-current denominations. Proof Set mintages range from a high of 2,558 sets in 1903 to a low of 471 sets in 1905. These coins are also popular with American collectors but they are listed under the Philippines proper.
