Sorry, not enough characters in the title to describe what I'm talking about.

2012 Standard Catalog of World Coins.

1925 Mexican 10 Centavos.

The catalog lists three different 1925 "versions." I don't know if it means mint marks or not.

The question is about 1925. What do the /15 & /3 mean?
Here's the picture from the catalog:

Here's the coin in question. It has an "M" mark at the bottom of the 10, inbetween the 1 and 0 :

the 1925/15 probably means that the original coin die for a 1915, and it was restamped to make a 1925. That would mean 1925 over 1915, or 1925/15. The other notations should have the same meaning.

Ah hah.... how does one tell?

Looks like I've got a $5 coin then. Ah well. Was hoping it was a $75 or $40. Oh well, still a nice coin :)

Yep, the 1925/15 and 1925/3 are overdates.

Look closely at the date numerals - on the overdates there should be visible remnants of either a "1" beneath the 2 or a "3" beneath the 5. I can't see anything there in your pics, but a higher res picture of just the date area might be helpful.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
