I've been noticing that 5 pesos coins are priced much higher than their face value when sold. I'm curious to understand the reason behind this. Why is there such a significant markup on these coins?

An interesting observation is that a small design flaw was present on the coins minted between 1997 and 2001. 6. This error was notably absent on the 5 nuevos pesos coins minted between 1992 and 1991. 7. Collectors and enthusiasts often seek out these coins due to their rarity and the unique design flaw.
