Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Centavos coin from the State of Chihuahua, made of Copper in 1915, features a unique design element - the use of Roman numerals. While most coins use Arabic numerals (0-9), this coin's date is displayed as "MCMXV" (1915 in Roman numerals). This adds an extra layer of historical charm and collectibility to an already rare and valuable coin.
