the mint should have minted silver and gold coins to commemorate dr. jose rizal. i wonder not at this time.

the original drawing looks beautiful and magnificent. but the actual minted coin not so.

i prefer the full philippine eagle shown. like the u.s. walking liberty reverse.

reverse should look like this one.
