The variants detected are the low- and high-relief star in the 1915 issue. Most of the silver coins in this series have been actively circulated, so identifying the variant is often difficult unless the coin is in very good condition. The main differences are the smooth center and rounded valleys in the high-relief variant, but as mentioned, these are worn on circulated coins, making it difficult to determine. Another clue is that the key and palm tree on the high-relief coins show a slight tilt on the reverse, but this is difficult to discern without comparing the coins.
