Comment

2008 - 2010 mintages are considerably lower because those were the years the commemorative coins were released (Centennial of the Revolution and Bicentennial of Independence series). The mintage for these standard 5 Pesos coins was reduced to nearly a tenth of the normal years, making them more difficult to find and usually more expensive than the commemorative coins of the same years.

A small design error occurs on all the 1997-2008 coins, that was not present on the 1992-1995 5 nuevos pesos coins. From 2009 onward, the error is fixed and also the obverse got slightly smaller design features, with reduced thickness of the font compared to the pre-2009 font. On the reverse at the bottom on the bronze center, there are two half pearls that were whole on the 1992-1995 coins. From 2009 onward these pearls are whole again, with thin decoration lines added that are probably the cause for this error on the 1997-2008 coins.
