Silver Amulet Medallion 1770

Un Peso Sagrado Verdadero San Jose 

Known to the local Philippine collectors as “Amulets”, “Silver-Shakers” or “Holy Pesos”, the history of these highly collectable amulets is confusing at best. Some local dealers claim they were made by Catholic Friars in the late 1800's while others say they were produced in the early 1900's by over-striking period US-Philippine silver coins. Either way, it is claimed that these amulets will bring protection, prosperity and/or good luck.
