The "line across palm crown" plate variety is most distinctive. I only have 5P1L's for it. Below are several specimens, some more easy to distinguish than others. If there is only one variety per plate, we at least know it is one column left of the right edge. This 5 Pesos plate study is divided into several major sections: there are several major plate varieties for which I have at least two specimens, and there are several minor plate varieties, represented here by one specimen. I also have a section for printing shifts, specimens with overall plate wear, and multiples showing at least one plate variety. Below, I include thumbnails to the major plate varieties. The thumbs are also linked.
