Comment
Countermark on 2 Centavos, Mexico KM#419.Interesting fact
The countermark on this coin is a letter "T" surrounded by a circle, which stands for "Toluca." This countermark was applied by the municipality of Toluca to coins that were minted in Mexico City but were intended for use in the State of Mexico. This practice of countermarking coins was common in Mexico during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it helped to identify the origin and authenticity of the coins. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
