This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1905-49 at the Mexico City mint. As such, the type had the longest run of any coin type in twentieth century Mexico. Wide and narrow dates exist for 1911, with the wide date obtaining a slight premium. In 1950, the centavo was downsized and changed to brass (KM 417) in which form it was issued until 1973, long after it had ceased to have any purchasing power.

''Recorded mintage:'' 12,650,000.

''Specification:'' 3 g, bronze, 20 mm diameter, plain edge.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 415.
