Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from the State of Mexico, made in 1916, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico's history. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, was still ongoing, and the country was experiencing significant political and social upheaval. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and is a sought-after collector's item today.
