Interesting fact

The 1915 10 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca is a rare and unique coin that features a design error. The coin was minted with a mistake in the die, resulting in a misprinted date. Instead of the correct date of 1915, the coin bears the date 1914. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a valuable piece of Mexican numismatic history.
