The Bagong Lipunan 5 peso coin is a commemorative coin issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in 1975, featuring the theme of the New Society ("Bagong Lipunan") during the Marcos administration. It typically showcases the image of the Philippine flag on one side and a depiction of a Filipino emblem or symbol on the other. The coin was part of a series aimed at promoting national identity and pride. It is no longer in circulation but remains of interest to collectors and historians.

A 50 peso coin is essentially valueless, because the peso of 1984 was converted to a new peso currently in use, and older peso coins removed from circulation. A person who walks into a coin dealer in Mexico City can find these coins at low prices (one or two pesos, maybe 20 US cents) just because the artwork on the coin is of historical interest, but the occasional E-Bay posting of these coins with prices of $5 or $10 represents a huge markup on what is essentially a valueless (although pretty) coin.
The circumference of a 5 peso coin from the Philippines is approximately 24.5 millimeters. This measurement can vary slightly depending on the specific year of minting and any wear the coin may have experienced. If you need the exact measurement, it's best to check the specifications from the Philippine mint or relevant numismatic resources.
