In 1946, the mint suspended the production of copper twenty centavos and in 1950 introduced this billon twenty-five centavos. It seems to have been an attempt to revive the balance scale quarter popular in the late nineteenth century but this base silver coin was a flop. Production terminated in 1953 and the twenty centavos resumed. All dates are readily available.
