Short description
Silver coin
Associated with: Spanish Colonies
Additional IDs: Miscellaneous number: HSBC.340 (Money Gallery Exhibited)
Treatment 1: Surface tarnishing was lightly buffed/cleaned by polishing with Goddard's long term silver cloth (comp. unknown). The remaining residues were removed with White Spirit (composition variable - petroleum distillate) and Acetone (propan-1-one/dimethyl ketone). The aim was to create a contrast and make the inscriptions and the representations easily readable by the visitors.
Treatment 2: Cleaned using Acetone (propan-1-one/dimethyl ketone) applied on a soft brush.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
