Interesting fact

The 1 Peso (Taxco) 1915 coin from the State of Guerrero made of Lead is interesting because it was minted during the Mexican Revolution, a time of great political and social upheaval in Mexico. The coin's design features the national emblem of Mexico, the eagle devouring a snake, and the words "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" (United Mexican States) surrounding it. This design was used on many Mexican coins during this time period and has become a symbol of Mexican national identity.
