Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin featuring Emiliano Zapata, issued in 1915-1916 by the State of Morelos, was the first coin to bear the image of a Mexican revolutionary leader. This coin was a significant departure from the traditional designs featuring Spanish royalty or national symbols, and it symbolized the country's shift towards a more independent and revolutionary identity.
