Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, issued in 1915, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for currency during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it has a unique feature - a short unfinished truncation. This means that the coin was cut short, leaving a rough edge, which was a result of the manual cutting process used during its production. This feature makes the coin distinctive and highly sought after by collectors.
