Comment
Weight varies 2.65-2.95g.Interesting fact
The 20 Centavos coin from Toluca features a unique countermark, which is a small stamp or marking that was applied to the coin after it was minted. This countermark is a letter "T" surrounded by a circle, which stands for "Toluca." The countermark was applied to the coin to indicate that it was issued by the municipality of Toluca, and it can be found on the obverse (front) side of the coin, just below the number "20." This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors, as it highlights the coin's origin and history.
