1 Céntimo

Obverse description	The Venezuelan national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield: the upper-left quarter bears a sheaf of wheat, the upper-right a trophy of arms and national flags, and the lower half a galloping horse facing left. The shield is rendered without the traditional supporters on this small-denomination coinage. The circular legend REPÚBLICA BOLIVARIANA DE VENEZUELA runs along the upper periphery, flanked by raised beaded borders on both the inner and outer rims, with the date 2007 appearing at the lower periphery between two raised dots.

Additional information	These cents were introduced as part of Venezuela's 2008 monetary redenomination, which replaced the bolívar at a rate of 1,000 to 1, creating the bolívar fuerte. The redenomination was driven by chronic inflation that had rendered small-denomination coins functionally worthless — the new 1 céntimo was worth, nominally, what the old 10 bolívares had been. In practice, even the redenominated unit bought almost nothing. Circulation was brief and largely symbolic; by the early 2010s, inflation had already begun eroding the fuerte itself toward the same fate.
