This specimen was part of lot 23011 in Heritage sale 3010 (Boston, August 2010), which sold for $546.25. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Modern Grouping of 18 High Grade Decimals, 1 Centavo to 1 Peso examples. Many AU and UNC. A lot to be carefully examined." This specimen is an example of a type struck 1905-41 at [[Mexico]] City. In 1905, the coinage was overhauled and all new types were introduced, including new one, five, ten, twenty and fifty centavos. This was the first two centavos issue since the failed copper-nickel experiment of 1882-83. This date is the third key, after the 1922 and 1905. However, after its production ended in 1941, mint authorities did not see fit to introduce a replacement and none of the denomination have been struck since.

''Recorded mintage:'' 250,000.

''Specification:'' 6 g, bronze, 25 mm diameter, plain edge. 

''Catalog reference:'' KM 419.
