Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from the State of Oaxaca, issued in 1915, was made of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Provisional Government of Mexico during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920. The use of brass for coins was a common practice during this time period, as it was a durable and affordable material that could be easily produced and minted. Today, coins like this one are highly sought after by collectors and can be valuable additions to any numismatic collection.
