Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Durango, Mexico, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's designer, Emilio del Mazo, added a small image of a serpent's head on the coin's reverse side, which represents the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. This subtle detail highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region and adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin.
