The coin will look like this (except for the date):
http://www.rickscoinstop.com/Coin Images/1905-Mexico-5-Centavos.jpg
This type was minted between 1905 and 1914; 20 mm and 5 grams of pure nickel.
In 1910, about 6.2M were minted.

well you know the main big time armed revolt time was 1910 thru 1920 ( bits and pieces lasted thru to 1925)--- and yes there is still unrest --the "peons vs the bosses " --- its been a long bitter ongoing struggle -- and not just in mexico

[Dirty WhiteBoy]

You are the Frito bandito! Do you love fritos cornchips! Good find Ivan! I also accept foreign coins too! WTG!

 

[ivan salis]

I love fritos corn chips, I love them I do , I love fritos corn chips , I'll take them from you --in a school play ( long long ago) I dress up as a pouncho villa / frito bandit cross -(complete with a mock wooden rifle and 2 crossed bandolers of styrofoam "bullets" and a big mexican hat and a taped on big mustashe )- today it would not pass the PC muster. (folks would clutch their chest ---oh how politically incorrect!!!!) -- racial sterotyping and guns oh my.
