Interesting fact

The 1915 Taxco peso coin from the State of Guerrero, made of electrum, has a unique feature - it has a crescent-shaped cutout in the center of the coin, which was a common design element in pre-Columbian currency. This feature was incorporated into the coin's design to honor the region's indigenous heritage.
