Interesting fact

The 1914 1 Peso coin from the State of Guerrero, also known as the "Campo Morado" coin, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Mexico. The coin was issued during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920 and saw the overthrow of the country's long-standing dictator, Porfirio Díaz, and the establishment of a new constitution and government. The coin's brass composition also makes it stand out, as it was a departure from the traditional silver or gold coins that were commonly used at the time.
