Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from the State of Aguascalientes (Mexican States) made of Copper and weighing 3.21g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico. The coin was issued in 1915, just a few years after the Mexican Revolution, which overthrew the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and established a new constitution and government. The coin's design, featuring an eagle on the obverse and the state's coat of arms on the reverse, reflects the new nation's identity and pride in its indigenous heritage. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to symbolize the country's rich natural resources and industrial potential.
