Comment
Three different die varieties have been noted, one apparently without the word LIBERTAD on Cap.Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Jalisco, Mexico, issued in 1915, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and social unrest in the country. The coin features an image of a soldier on one side and the national emblem on the other, symbolizing the struggle for independence and unity that Mexico was facing at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a valuable resource, highlights the importance of this metal in the country's economy and trade during that period.
