Interesting fact

The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Mexico features the image of a volcano on its reverse side. The volcano depicted is the Popocatépetl volcano, which is located in the central part of Mexico and is one of the country's most active volcanoes. The inclusion of this image on the coin is a nod to the region's rich geological history and the importance of volcanoes in Mexican culture.
