Coins struck from 1968 to 1978 are composed of [[bronze]] and measure 1.65 millimeters in thickness, while later pieces are made of a cheaper alternative, [[copper]]-plated [[steel]], and measure a slightly larger 1.88 millimeters in thickness. Despite these disparities, both metal varieties share a mass of 4.2 grams and a diameter of 21 millimeters. They also have [[medallic alignment]] and a plain [[edge]], and are round in [[shape]]. The [[rim]]s of the [[obverse]] and [[reverse]] are raised and undecorated. |
