Long before the Spaniards came the natives worshiped their
anitos
and several nature gods. This ancestral spirituality laid the foundation on
the beliefs in
talisman or
anting-anting and its variety of powers.
Centuries of colonial Catholicism further
provided many obscure and pagan elements, incorporating
religious icons and concepts
- the Holy Spirit (Espiritu Santo), Holy Trinity (Santisima Trinidad), Holy
Family (Sagrada Familia), Virgin Mother (Virgen Madre), the Eye, and many more - into the credo of anting-anting.
Numismatists have a passion for collecting distinctive
silver amulets, especially those crafted from silver peso US-Philippine coins
(1903-1905) and Mexican 8 Reales/Un Peso coins. Albino Quiban, a highly
regarded senior coin collector and dealer, as well as a former president of the
Philippine Numismatic and Antiquarian Society (PNAS), explains that these
amulets were created by Mang Maning Dealino in Laguna in the 1950s. Despite
the use of low-quality silver resulting from the blending of coins with other metals,
these amulets are known for their exceptional toning that sets them apart.
The typical size of these silver amulets is 40mm,
which is comparable to a large US-Philippine peso. A noteworthy aspect of these
amulets is that the reverse and obverse designs were switched, creating a
diverse range of amulets. Some of these amulets are hollow and emit a faint
rattling sound when shaken.
Among the popular designs are St. Joseph (San Jose),
the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary, and Joseph), the Mexican Eagle
(Republica Mexicana), the Cap and Rays, the Angel with Trumpet,
and the Cross Keys. A rare design is the Dr. Jose Rizal amulet,
featuring KKK flags and a balance scale on the reverse, which is highly sought after
by collectors. These amulets were crafted to resemble coins and were believed
to bring good luck in business.
Most of these amulets come from the collections of Melvin
Lam and the author.
