PHILIPPINES: Anting-Anting Medals, AR medal (34.89g), "1001", YL-15, Honeycutt-1420, 41mm silver anting-anting medal, angel blowing trumpet with moon and stars with "TD - YD - 1001" around // St. Joseph receiving coins from dove over sun with PATRIARCA SENOR SAN JOSE VIRTUD DE COMMERCIO around, obverse and reverse scratches and marks, reeded edge, VF-XF. Anting-anting are religious talismans used as tangible representations of Filipino's beliefs. They are very 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.
