5th Bust. Unfinished lapels.
Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, is interesting because it was produced during a time of political turmoil in the country. The Provisional Government issued the coin in 1915, while Mexico was in the midst of a civil war. The coin's design, featuring unfinished lapel details on the obverse, is a result of the hasty production process during this period. Despite its historical significance, the coin remains a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted.
