MANILA - Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on Tuesday offered limited stocks of the P5,000 Lapu-Lapu banknote and silver medal to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mactan.
Less than an hour after posting the offer on its FB page, the link to the order form for the banknote said that form was already closed.

On its obverse, the banknote depicts a young Lapulapu, an image of the battle of Mactan, the QCP logo, and the Karaoka, the large outrigger warships used by native Filipinos
Meanwhile, the reverse shows the Philippine eagle, or the Manaol, which symbolizes clear vision, freedom, and strength; and which embodies the ancient Visayan belief that all living creatures originated from an eagle.
Also featured are the tree of a coconut, which was food the people of Samar provided to Ferdinand Magellan and his crew; and Mount Apo, which is located in Mindanao, where the circumnavigators finally found directional clues to their intended destination of Maluku or the Spice Island.
Medal
The medal, on the other hand, features on the obverse the markings, “Lapulapu,” above an image of the Lapu-Lapu Shrine in Cebu; and the logos of the QCP and the BSP.
