UWAGA: Mennice w Kremnicy i Leningradzie można odróżnić po kilku szczegółach:
Na monetach z mennicy w Kremnicy lewy punkt gwiazdy znajduje się pomiędzy literami A i T w napisie PATRIA.
Na monetach z mennicy leningradzkiej lewy punkt gwiazdy wskazuje na prawą odnogę litery A

Niewielkie różnice w napisach i projekcie między monetami z 1971/1972 i 2001 roku:

Monety z 1972 roku zaczęły krążyć w latach 90-tych; z tego powodu w latach 1972-2001 nie wybito żadnych monet.

Warianty z 2002 roku: Wysoka data po lewej, niska data po prawej, odległość od daty do krawędzi jest inna
(źródło: zdjęcia autorstwa adanieluy).

W 2016 roku legenda została zmieniona z "PATRIA Y LIBERTAD" na "PATRIA O MUERTE", legenda ta została zmieniona na monetach o nominałach 1 i 2 centavos w 1983 roku oraz na 20 i 40 centavos w 1982 roku, ale pozostała niezmieniona na nominale 5 centavos. Monety z 2016 roku nie są jeszcze wymienione na Krause, dlatego w komentarzach z lat pokazują "NO KM#", nową wersję można zobaczyć na jej własnej stronie (patrz link poniżej). Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

NOTE: Kremnica and Leningrad Mint can be distinguished by some details:
On coins from Kremnica Mint, the left point of the star points between A and T of PATRIA
On coins from Leningrad Mint, the left point of the star points on the right leg of the A

Some minor variations in lettering and design between 1971/1972 and 2001-date coin:

1972 coins started circulating on the 90's; that is the reason why no coins were minted between 1972-2001.

2002 variants: High date on left, low date on right, distance from date to edge is different
(source: pictures by adanieluy).

On 2016 legend was changed from "PATRIA Y LIBERTAD" to "PATRIA O MUERTE", this legend have been changed on 1 and 2 centavos coins on 1983, and on 20 and 40 centavos on 1982, but remained unchanged on 5 centavos value. 2016 coins are not still listed on Krause, this is the reason they show "NO KM#" in years comments, you can see new version on its own page (see link below).
