Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from Mexico (1863-1870) is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was installed by the French government in an attempt to establish a monarchy in Mexico. This period saw significant political turmoil, including the ousting of the emperor and the re-establishment of a republican government. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation until 1870, when it was replaced by a new design.
