This document certify that this Emilio Aguinaldo Presidential Medal is authentic. This is a limited edition issue with a mintage of 350pcs only.
Remarks
The rendition of the first Philippine flag on the obverse is different from the actual flag displayed at the Emilio Aguinaldo Museum in Baguio City, with large sun rays having an individual line ray. The signature on the medal, label, and COA has a different stroke compared to the known authenticated specimen of Aguinaldo's signature, and also a missing dot over "i". The maker may have referenced it only from online sources and not actual specimens. The weight in Certificate of Authenticity states that the weight is 23.5 gm instead of 23.03 gm actual weight. The COA states that the quality is Proof, it is noted by our in-house cataloger that it is actually Proof-like quality with Frosted Design finish in a Mirror-Finished Brilliant Uncirculated background.
Error
Grammar - “certify” instead of “certifies” in COA. “ika-1 na Pangulo” instead of a more appropriate “Unang Pangulo” or "ikaunang Pangulo" or "ika-1 Pangulo" (without "na" panuntunan ng tambilang) in accordance to Balarilang Filipino (for Filipino language expert, if the observance is wrong, please report to editors@numismatics.ph). Flag and Signature (see ramarks)
