| Reverse description | Central field features the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) seal, with arched inscriptions drawn from the national anthem Lupang Hinirang arranged around it. The octagonal inner border mirrors the obverse, again representing the eight revolutionary provinces. The upper arc bears the English commemorative legend marking the 125th Anniversary of Philippine Independence and Nationhood, while the lower arc carries the mint year. The overall composition balances heraldic and patriotic elements in a formal commemorative style consistent with BSP collector coin issues. |

| Additional information |
The "Independence" denomination in the Filipino centennial coinage program commemorates the 1898 declaration at Kawit, Cavite — though the 2023 issue sits within an ongoing BSP commemorative series rather than marking any single anniversary year. Nordic gold, the copper-aluminum-zinc alloy developed by the Nordic Mint and widely adopted for high-denomination circulation commemoratives across Southeast Asia, gives the coin its distinctive brass-like appearance without the cost or softness of actual gold alloy.
