President Woodrow Wilson Medal
Inauguration of the Manila Mint

In 1920, a branch of the US mint was established in Manila, Philippines, which was then a colonozed by the United States of America. Initiated by President Woodrow Wilson, to date, the Manila Mint was the only US mint established outside of the US continents and was tasked for producing coins for the colony. The branch was in production from 192o until 1922, and then again from 1925 through 1941, until the World War II broke. Coins which was struck by this mint either bear the "M" mintmark (for Manila) or none at all - similar to the Philadelphia mint at the time.
