CINCO PESOS
So
Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Pesos coin from Chile, minted in 1926, is made of silver with a purity level of .720. This means that the coin contains 72% silver, which is a relatively high percentage compared to other coins. The use of silver in coinage was common in the early 20th century, but it has since been largely phased out in favor of more durable and less valuable metals. The fact that this coin is made of silver makes it a unique and interesting piece for collectors.
