Comment
These pieces vary from 1.5 to 2.5mm in thickness.Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos coin from the State of Jalisco, Mexico, issued in 1915, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and social unrest in the country. The coin features an image of a soldier on one side and the Mexican coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the struggle for independence and unity that was taking place at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively rare and valuable metal at the time, adds to its historical significance and value as a collector's item.
