| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse displays the Mexican national arms as it appeared on the host coin: a Mexican eagle perched upon a cactus growing from a rocky island, devouring a serpent in its beak, with wings spread. The eagle is flanked by laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The encircling legend reads ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, and a beaded border runs along the coin's rim. The design reflects the standard Porfirian-era national arms type used on Mexican centavo coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse bears a bold applied countermark consisting of the denomination numeral '20' surmounted by a large stylized 'C', all set within a circular incuse punch applied by the Municipality of Toluca. This countermark is centrally placed within a wreath of laurel branches extending from the lower field. The date 1906 appears at the top of the field, referencing the date of the host coin. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

During the chaotic years of the Mexican Revolution, municipal and regional authorities frequently lacked access to small change and improvised by countermarking existing coins to authorize them for local circulation. Toluca's copper 20 centavos issues fall squarely into this emergency monetary tradition, where the stamp of a local government transformed an otherwise ordinary piece into sanctioned currency within a defined geographic jurisdiction. The practice was widespread across Mexican states between roughly 1913 and 1917.
KM#693 is catalogued among the Revolutionary-era municipal emissions, a category that encompasses enormous variety in strike quality and countermark depth — not as a grading concern, but because these were applied under improvised conditions with inconsistent hand tools.
