This centavo was struck in Bogotá, Colombia, of a type issued 1952-58. It superseded a copper-nickel type of the same design for 1918-48. The earlier dates were struck at the Philadelphia and Denver mints, the later ones in Bogotá, leading to a flurry of repunched date varieties. A copper liberty cap centavo was issued in 1942-51, 1957-66.
Recorded mintage: 5,080,000.
Specification: 2 g, nickel-plated steel, 17 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 275a.
