This cupro-nickel aluminium coin was first issued in 1974 but had a relatively short life: problems with counterfeiting - and use of foreign coins of lower face value in slot machines - led to its replacement by a bimetallic coin in 1988, after an abortive attempt in 1986 to replace it with a much smaller nickel coin.
