Highest Extrinsic Value for Philippine Commemorative Coin

I have been searching the net trying to look for any information about Philippine coins. This is probably not the grandest info you’ll come across about Philippine coin but still, what the heck! Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas have issued a lot of commemorative coins for past presidents of the country. If you ever wonder who they are: Emilio Aguinaldo Manuel L. Quezon Sergio OsmeƱa Manuel Roxas Diosdado Macapagal Ferdinand E. Marcos Corazon C. Aquino Fidel V. Ramos Joseph Ejercito Estrada Gloria Macapagal–Arroyo Commemorative coins may vary in size with the ordinary circulation coins. These coins were minted to honor a specific person or recognize the significance of a place or event that made a mark in the history of Philippines. Most of these commemorative coins are minted from precious metals like gold and silver making them extraordinary and more expensive. Other than circulation coins, the BSP also issues commemorative coins which are also legal tender.
