ISLAS FILIPINAS: Phillipines Islands. UN PESO: One Peso. Reverse appears similar to Spanish pillar dollar. By putting the writing into Google search engine, you should find the solution quickly.

Very cool sentimental Token, hand engraved on a special coin in it's own right.

A new one peso coin was struck in 1897 with the profile of the boy King Alfonso XIII. This coin was only minted for 1 year, and is, at the same time, the first silver coin to bear the name of the Philippines (Islas Filipinas) and the very last coin issued by Spain in the Philippines.
