I bought this 1943 5 Centavos, years ago. I was caught by the nice display of colors. It is brass, and is well circulated. 21 mm diameter. Weighs 3.7 grams. A 1 year type. KM# 21. "in God Conflamos"! Shot through the 2x2 mylar. Do click on to zoom in. Gary in Washington
Here's the full 1943 Nicaragua set: Nicaragua 1 Centavo 1943 Brass Nicaragua 5 Centavos 1943 Brass Nicaragua 10 Centavos 1943 Brass Nicaragua 25 Centavos 1943 Brass I have had these coins since the 1960's when I was a kid.
"En Dios Confiamos" (the bottom serifs on the "I" and the "A" are close enough to make the "I" kind of look like an "L" lol) = "In God We Trust" The other coins have a better separation between the "I" and the "A."
