Interesting fact

The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Puebla, made of Copper in 1915, features an image of a woman on its obverse side, who is believed to be a representation of the Mexican revolutionary leader, Hermila Galindo. This is a unique feature, as most coins from this time period depicted images of men or national symbols. This coin is a rare and interesting piece of Mexican history.
