Interesting fact
The 1915 20 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca is interesting because it features a unique unfinished truncation design, which was a result of a production error. The coin was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico, and the error was likely caused by the rush to produce coins to meet the demand for currency. Despite the error, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of Mexican history.
