This is another Colombian coin that shows frequently "woody " characteristics. Is a 5 pesos 1987 coin and in a colloquial way is called Policarpa ( one famous heroine of the freedom war of Colombia ).As the other one,it is made also of bronze - from wikipedia : Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12% tin and often with the addition of other metals , such as aluminum, manganese, nickel or zinc, and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon - Some wise guys ised to say that this wood appearance is " an
anomaly of the metal composition,that is an error in the
mixing of copper and zinc." I would like to hear all of your also wise opinions .Best

I don't think the first one it's a woody. I think those are roller marks, just as on the USA cents.
