Reverse Description: An eagle is portrayed in the center atop an American shield with 13 stars. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is written around the periphery with the date at the bottom.
General Notes: The numeral 2 in the date is triple-punched. After striking only 100,000 coins of the twenty-centavo denomination in 1928, the Manila Mint increased its production in 1929 to nearly two million. Die varieties for the year include a repunched date (9 Over 9), a rumored repunched mintmark, and this interesting 2 Over 2 Over 2 tripled date. It made its debut in the Philippines chapter of the Guide Book of United States Coins in the 68th edition (published 2014). Values of high-grade examples in particular have increased in recent years.
