Yes, as long as you have 25k php.
As long as there's supply
Should be on BSP Manila (A. Mabini) - not East Avenue
I was at East Avenue earlier, bought some notes and coins.
They probably released it due to the gold reaching 1.7k.
I even saw the cashier posting the print-ad on her cubicle (looks like they just released it).
Inside information said it was offered 10k before, then 22k, now 25k.


Oh well, not many people will buy them anyway.
I just bought 2pcs 2000php notes yet the serial# is only 8000, they made 300,000pcs (so maybe there are 290,000 left).

Anong KM ito sa Krause publication. Yun nasa Krause 1981 at 1982 lang na proof eh yung naka-display dun ay 1980

try the last volume (1900 and above) of the 5-volume set (World Coins), look out for KM 234... good luck..

it is right, the catalog has two pictures (50 peso and 1500 peso) of this pope coins both 1981 and it is indicated that there is a 1982 proof, but the picture shown on the bsp offer is 1980.. i am now more interested, somebody who gets hold of one, kindly post it here.. thanks..

Very nice story


1500 Piso 1980 Pope John Paul II Visit in the Philippines.
Reverse: San Lorenzon Ruiz, UNLISTED. PROOF Gold

Weight: 9.5 grams / 0.2879 oz , Composition: 0.900 Gold.

In 1980 Pope Paul II was supposed to visit the Philippines for the beatification of Lorenzo Ruiz so Central Bank of the Philippines decided to issue these 1980 gold coins. Due to security reasons the Pope’s visit was rescheduled on February 17, 1981. The Central bank recalled all the 1980 gold coins and changed the date to 1981. Only a few collectors and top officers the Central Bank got hold of these 1980 gold coins.
