Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from Mexico (1867-1869) is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a decimalization effort aimed at replacing the old Spanish colonial system of currency, which had been in use since the 16th century. Despite the challenges of the time, the 10 Centavos coin remained in circulation for several years and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
