The 1925 M through 1928 M Five Centavos used the same obverse and reverse designs as the 1903 - 1921 Five Centavos and were struck to the same specifications. The distinguishing feature of the 1925 through 1928 Five Centavos is the addition of a "M" Mint Mark on the reverse to the left of the date.

This NGC Top Pop specimen has light gray toning with quite clean surfaces. A most elusive date in higher grades. From The Collection of Dr. Roger R. McFadden.
