Comment
Meaning of Obverse: Liberty sitting on solid stone, laurel meaning a King's seat. Her dominant (right) arm is supported by Law, and on her left a spear to fend off attackers. Ax and quiver are the armed forces that are willing to defend the seat.Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Mexico, made of Copper and weighing 8.55g, is interesting because it was minted during the Second Mexican Empire, which was a short-lived monarchy established in 1864 and abolished in 1867. This coin was likely minted during that time and features the image of Emperor Maximilian I on one side and the Mexican coat of arms on the other.
