The Philippine twenty-centavo (20¢) coin was a denomination of the Philippine peso. The one-fifth (1/5) peso was introduced by both the Spaniards and the Americans during the colonial era of the Philippines. It was replaced by a banknote of the same denomination introduced alongside the establishment of the Central Bank of the Philippines (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) in 1949 and it was replaced by the twenty-five centavo coin.
