Interesting fact
The 1915 Taxco peso coin from the State of Guerrero, made of electrum (0.300 gold) and weighing 10.51g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico. The country was in the midst of a civil war, and the government was struggling to maintain stability and control over the economy. Despite these challenges, the production of coins continued, and the 1915 Taxco peso coin remains a unique and valuable piece of Mexican numismatic history.
