The 1907-S Philippine Peso & the WWII Manila Bay War Salvage | A Coin with Wartime History

Uncover the dramatic wartime history behind the 1907-S Philippine Peso — a U.S.-minted silver coin circulated in the Philippines during the American colonial period. In 1942, as Japanese forces advanced on the islands during World War II, millions of silver pesos were secretly lowered into Caballo Bay, part of the greater Manila Bay, to prevent their capture.

This video tells the story of the Manila Bay War Salvage, the emergency efforts to protect the nation's silver reserves, and the post-war recovery that followed. This coin stands as a tangible link to one of the most intense chapters in Philippine-American history.
