Origin and Period: It's a Spanish coin from the Provisional Government period (1868-1871), following the dethronement of Queen Isabella II.
Mint Mark: "OM" on the coin stands for Oeschger Mesdach & Co., a French firm that minted coins for Spain in Strasbourg.
Denomination and Composition: The coin is a 5 Centimos, part of the Céntimo (Peseta) denomination, and is made of bronze or copper.
Design: The reverse typically features a seated figure representing Hispania (Seated Liberty), while the obverse displays a rampant lion and the Spanish coat of arms within a beaded circle.
Historical Significance: These coins were known colloquially as "perra chica" (small female dog) due to the perceived resemblance of the lion to a dog when the coin was worn.
