PHILIPPINE COINS CIRCA 80s - the fashionable and the make-overs

The 80s were marked by eccentricity and experimentation.  I think the coins in the Philippines had it share of what we call some 'big hair' moments in the 80s.  
There was the 'chicklet' 1 centavo coin, the flower 5 centavo coin, the 2 peso bill gets a make-over! 


Philippine Coins currency, 1982 and 1986

the fashionable chicklet and flower coins (utmost right) - 1 centavo and 5 centavos, respectively.
The 1 Peso, 24 and 10 centavo designs, in my opinion were one of the most simple yet cool designs ever issued by the Central Bank




The 2 Peso bill gets a make-over!  First time that the decagon coin was introduced to the market.
