Coins were issued for the Philippines under sovereignty of the United States from 1903 through 1945. These coins are all inscribed with the legend United States of America and show an eagle above the shield on the reverse. Pieces dated from 1903 to 1919 were struck at the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints. Those dated after 1920 were made in Manila. During World War II coins of 1944 and 1945 were made at Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco.
