In December 1995, a new set of coins and notes was issued which carried the logo of the new BSP: 5- and 1-piso and 25-, 10-, 5- and 1-sentimo, with the aim of carrying out the demonetization of all previous series by Jan 2, 1998. On July 10, 2001, BSP issued the 10-piso coin for general circulation to commemorate its 8th anniversary.
There are 3 main types of obverse:
Die I - very thick script of legend, cogwheel with low teeth
Die II - very thin script, legend far from the inner circle, cogwheel with high teeth
Die III - thick script, legend close to the inner circle, cogwheel with high teeth
