This specimen is one of a type issued by the Mexico City mint 1970-76. By the late 1950's, the Mexican peso had begun its inexorable slide. Coin types, once stable in the early part of the century, began turning over more rapidly as inflation ate away their purchasing power. While this gave employment to coin designers and engravers, it limited their scope of action as progressively cheaper alloys were adopted. This five centavos is a reduced size version of the type struck 1954-69 (KM 426). All the dates are common.
Recorded mintage: 163,368,000.
Specification: 2.75 g, brass, 18 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 427.
