  Wow! What a great daughter! How did she know to buy this for you?

  I love how the 1907 date is so visible on it!

  Great work by Dan @dcarr!

  @Zoins
  My family does this elfster website/app every year where you put your christmas wish list and prioritize your list. My top on the list was an Artisan Kinetic Butterfly style multi tool knife and she bought this instead - my second choice.

  Japanese WWII General Homma medals were overstruct on manila bay dump pesos.
  Given to soldiers who conquered Corregidor to be worn around the neck

  First strikes show some of the under coin peso letters and or date indicating a U. S. / philippine coin.
  Not what the Japanese wanted. These are the very rarest of the HOMMA medals.
  Later pesos were heated/melted a little till the inscriptions disappeared before striking.
  I have only seen 3 of the ones where the under coin can be seen and none of those have a loop atop.
  Two that I have seen were on a 1907-S and 1908-S philippine peso , the third I do not recall.
  One of the great historical rarities of the U.S. Philippines numismatic period.
