Interesting fact

The 1915 20 Centavos coin from the State of Puebla, made of copper, features an image of a woman on its obverse side, who is believed to be a representation of the Mexican revolutionary leader, Hermila Galindo. This is a unique feature, as most coins from this time period depicted images of men or national symbols. This coin is a rare and interesting example of the inclusion of women in numismatics.
