| Additional information |
Venezuela's nickel 5 Bolívares series ran through the early 1970s against a backdrop of the country's first oil boom — the same windfall that would, paradoxically, fuel the monetary pressures eventually forcing a redesign of the entire bolivar coinage by decade's end. The 1973 issue sits near the tail end of this type's production run.
