Venezuela fully adopted a decimal coinage system in 1871, with 100 centavos = 1 venezuelano. By 1879, denominations were renamed centimos and bolivares, such that 100 centimos = 1 bolivar. A crown was equivalent to 5 bolivares. The official title of the country from 1864 was 'Estados Unidos de Venezuela', a name it would carry until 1953, when the constitution mandated a return to the name 'Republica de Venezuela'.
Shown is a 1927 5 centimos, minted in Philadelphia. The obverse features the coat of arms, with the denomination enclosed by a wreath on the reverse.
Recorded mintage: 2,000,000.
Specifications: copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: Y 27.
