Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Peso coin from the State of Durango, made of Lead and weighing 54.56g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1914 and features the image of Muera Huerta, a prominent figure in Mexican history. The use of lead as the material for the coin was a unusual choice, as most coins were made of more durable metals like silver or gold. This fact makes the coin particularly interesting and valuable to collectors.
