This is one of three Venezuelan coins I own. The obverse features Simón Bolívar who is the equivalent to George Washington in many South American Countries. The reverse was modified from previous years because the composition was changed from 90% silver to 100% nickel and Venezuela put the silver weight and composition on their coins. For some reason this coin feels rough. I'm not exactly sure why since Canada used nickel and their coins are as smooth (and shiny) as a baby's bottom. Too bad it's not silver because if it was it would be worth about $4.35. Since it's not it is worth only $0.10.
