The Numismatic Catalog of Venezuela has images of five varieties.
NOTE: After fabrication this coin was never released for circulation; because of how dependent it was from another 12.5 coin due to its fractional nature in which a 0.005 was always needed to be useful, and since no "Half Centime" coins were ever used the only way to effectively use them was in pairs. A few of them made into the hands of collectors through year sets and direct sales from the Central Bank, but they are consistently very rare to find.
12½ Céntimos coin is popularly known as "Locha" in Venezuela.
