The Philippine ten-peso coin (₱10) is the second largest denomination coin of the Philippine peso.
Two versions of this denomination are in circulation; the bi-metallic coin, first issued in 2000, with the dual profiles of Andrés Bonifacio and Apolinario Mabini on obverse and the 1993 logo of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on the reverse. The current version, issued since 2017, features a portrait of Apolinario Mabini on the obverse side and the Kapa-kapa and the current logo of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on the reverse side.
Firstly, the ten peso coin was produced in conjunction along with the ten peso note, which commenced at the year 1988 and again from 2000 until production for its banknote version became obsolete when the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) stopped printing the banknotes upon making the coin became general public circulation on July 2001 due to the note's faster wear and tear from everyday use.
