PHILIPPINES: AR 'anting-anting' medal (33.54g), Honeycutt-1420, YL-15, 41mm, angel blowing trumpet over crescent, stars, and waves, All-Seeing Eye above, fictitious date 1001 below // St. Joseph kneeling right in prayer, radiant crescent and sun above, with coins falling from sun into chest below, PATRIARCA SENOR SAN JOSE VIRTUD DE COMMERCIO, scratches, polished, F-VF. Anting-anting are religious talismans used as tangible representations of Filipino beliefs. They are crudely made and were supposedly produced in Laguna Province. One source gives their dates of manufacture as approximately 1950 to the mid-80's. The dates sometimes represented on the medals are fictitious. There are many different obverse and reverse types, and were paired to create many combinations, much like the Javanese gobogs.
