PISO as coin name is a type of the peso coin.
The piso is the modern currency of the Philippines. It is issued in the form of both banknotes and coins (both — standard circulation and commemorative). In fact, it is a peso — in the Wikipedia, the name of the currency in English is given as Philippine peso. On Philippine coins up to and including 1967, the denomination was also indicated in the "Peso" format (both on coins from the "Spanish" period of the state's history, and on coins from the era of the US administration and the first years of independence).
However, starting from 1969, coins appeared in circulation, the denomination of which began to be indicated as PISO: not in Spanish, and not in English, but in the native, local — Latin script of the Tagalog language.
