Interesting fact
The 1915 1 Peso coin from the State of Oaxaca is interesting because it was produced during a time of political and social upheaval in Mexico. The Provisional Government, which issued the coin, was established in 1914 after the ousting of President Victoriano Huerta and lasted until 1917. This period saw the rise of various political factions and the struggle for power, ultimately leading to the Mexican Revolution. The coin's production was likely a way for the Provisional Government to maintain economic stability and legitimacy during this tumultuous time.
