Comment
Copper planchets were made from a large water tank.Interesting fact
The 2 Centavo coin from Tenancingo, State of Mexico, made of Copper in 1915, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, led to the overthrow of the dictator Porfirio Díaz and the establishment of a new constitution in 1917. This coin was minted during the transition period, when Mexico was still using the old peso currency, but was in the process of transitioning to the new peso, which was introduced in 1917. This coin is a tangible reminder of the tumultuous period in Mexican history.
