| Reverse description | The denomination 5 CENTAVOS is boldly displayed in two lines at the centre of the field, enclosed within an open laurel wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The legend AMERICA CENTRAL curves along the upper periphery, while the fineness designation 9 Ds. and the mint attribution HEATON BIRMM. appear in the lower arc outside the wreath. The plain central field and deeply struck wreath branches are hallmarks of Heaton Birmingham's milling technique. |
