1958 5 Centimos Venezuela Coin
Hi Steemit,
Back with another coin today. This coin today hails from 1950s Venezuela, a time in history where their economy and currency was much different from today. The Venezuelan currency at the time was the Venezuela bolívar. [2] Since then, there has been other iterations of the bolívar that has come about due to hyperinflation occurring in the Venezuelan economy.
This coin today is a 1958 5 centimos cupro-nickel coin. The subunit fraction of a bolívar is a centimo, which represents 1/100 of a bolívar. [2]
This coin is a cupro-nickel coin and contains no precious metal content. It was demonetised from circulation in Venezuela on the 31st of December 2011 [1].
