Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, issued in 1915, has an interesting feature. The legend on both the obverse and reverse sides of the coin is written in retrograde, meaning it reads backwards. This unique feature was a deliberate design choice made by the Provisional Government of Oaxaca, which issued the coin during a time of political turmoil in Mexico.
