Interesting fact

The 1 Centavo coin from Mexico featuring Maximiliano I was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. Maximiliano I was a European-born emperor who was installed by the French government in 1864, and his rule was controversial and short-lived. The coin was minted in an attempt to establish a new currency system and promote the use of the peso as the official currency of Mexico. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and it can be found in circulation among coin collectors and enthusiasts.
