What's the diameter? It's either 19mm across or 17mm. The former has little value below MS grades and the latter is the key date of its kind with some good cat value.

This example has little sign of bumps, scratches or scrapes from wear, which is good, but it does have a dull, late-strike appearance with some spots and likely verdigris (reverse 3 and 9 o'clock, and below the "F"). If we were to suppose that it comes in as a net VF, or, perhaps with a little luck, even a lower XF, IF this is the 17mm I'd put it at a cat value of at about $50.

From the KM#, it should be the large variety.
Unfortunately not very interesting in this grade.
But 1920 was a very intersting year regarding 5 centimes coins.
Not less than 3 different coins have been minted that year.
The large and beautiful bronze coin and the holed one in two different sizes.

Confusingly my SCWC lists both #865 & #875 at 17mm. I assume that the given weights are correct and that mine at 3.0 gr is #865.

Yes, Krause missed the boat on that one, as it does quite a few times in just the French section...

865 is the 19mm at 3 grams and 875 is the 17mm at 2 grams.
