Interesting fact

The 1 Centavo coin from the Provisional Government of Oaxaca in 1915 is interesting because it was made of copper, which was a significant departure from the traditional silver or gold used in Mexican coinage at the time. This decision to use copper was likely influenced by the political and economic instability of the period, as well as the need to produce a large quantity of coins quickly and efficiently. The use of copper in this coin reflects the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people of Oaxaca during a time of great change and upheaval.
