Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from the State of Chihuahua was issued during a time of political turmoil in Mexico, when the country was embroiled in a civil war between the Constitutionalist Army and the Villista forces. Despite the conflict, the coin still features the national emblem of Mexico, the eagle and snake, on one side, and the image of a warrior on the other, symbolizing the state's support for the Constitutionalist cause.
