Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1957 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mexico's Constitution, which was adopted in 1857. The coin's design features an image of the Mexican national coat of arms on one side and a depiction of the Constitution on the other. The use of Billon, a metal alloy composed of copper, nickel, and zinc, was a common practice in coinage during that time period. Additionally, the coin's weight of 16 grams is relatively heavy for a coin of its size, which makes it stand out among other coins from the same era.
