Comment
8th Bust. Short, curved truncation.
Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, has an interesting feature. It has a short curved truncation, which means that the edges of the coin are not straight but instead have a slight curve. This unique design feature was used to make the coin easier to distinguish from other coins in circulation.
