Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, issued in 1915, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a bold, unfinished truncation. This means that the coin's edges are not smooth and rounded, but instead have a rough, uneven finish. This design choice was likely made to distinguish the coin from other currencies in circulation at the time and to make it easily recognizable. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin adds to its unique character, as copper is a durable and long-lasting metal that has been used in coinage for centuries. Overall, this coin's distinctive design and material make it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
