1936-1942 Mexico Copper-Nickel 5 Centavos AU/BU
During the years spanning 1936 to 1942, Mexico produced a distinctive copper-nickel five centavos coin. Struck at the historic Mexico City Mint, this issue features a compelling blend of national pride and ancient artistic heritage. The coin is cataloged as KM-423 and survives in impressive About Uncirculated to Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the fine details of its original strike. The obverse of the coin displays the traditional Mexican coat of arms, surrounded by the clear inscription "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS". On the reverse, the date of issue sits directly above the face value of 5 centavos. Framing this central design is an intricate outer ring inspired by the famous Aztec sun stone, a beautiful nod to the deep indigenous history of the nation.
