Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from Mexico, produced between 1936 and 1946, has an interesting feature. It was designed by Mexican artist José de Creeft, who was known for his work in the Art Deco style. The coin's design features an eagle on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side features the Mexican coat of arms. This coin was also unique in that it was made of copper-nickel, a blend of 80% copper and 20% nickel, which gave it a distinctive color and durability. Despite its relatively small size and weight (5.5 grams), the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and artistic design.
