On One side there is a coat of arms/emblem in the center which contains 3 stars across the top, a sun burst in the center, a bird w/outstretched wings in left corner and in the right corner is what looks like a lion on its hind legs. The words 'Republika ng Pilipinas' are written above this emblem and again in a ribbon like banner in very fine print underneath the emblem. Lastly, the Year '1970' is printed across the bottom.
On the Other side: A profile view of a man's head is noted in the center. To the right of him, the name 'Francisco Baltasar' is written in fine print. Below this name there's a large '10'. Lastly, across the top, above the bust, the words 'Sampung Sentimos' are printed all in caps.
It is the size of a dime. The color is like that of an old brown/darkened penny.
I've searched multiple sites from the web Search, and searched in 'all categories' on 'worldwide' Ebay. So far I found similar coins (a silver one, wrong color) but no drk brown ones w/the yr 1970.
