Interesting fact
The 1914 Durango 1 Peso coin made of brass is interesting because it was issued during a time of political turmoil in Mexico, known as the Mexican Revolution. The coin was minted in the city of Durango, which was a stronghold of the rebel forces led by Pancho Villa, who fought against the government of Victoriano Huerta. Despite the political instability, the coin still bears the image of the Mexican eagle and the inscription "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" (United Mexican States), reflecting the country's desire for unity and stability during a time of great upheaval.
