Interesting fact
The 1915 20 Centavos coin from the State of Aguascalientes is interesting because it features a unique curved bottom design, which was a distinct characteristic of coins minted during the early years of the Mexican Revolution. This design was introduced to distinguish the new revolutionary coins from the older coins minted by the Mexican government. Additionally, the coin is made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period.
