A brief annotation
The Coin celebrates the 150th birthday of A. Mabini, one of the leading heroes of the 19th century revolution. He was a statesman, a revolutionary leader, educator, and a lawyer. He was tagged as the brain of the Philippine Revolution despite losing the use of his legs to Polio. The feather represents the writing skills and leadership he commands.
