Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pesos (Hidalgo Grande) coin from Mexico, made of Silver (.900) and Copper (.100), is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Mexico. The coin was introduced in 1955, just a year after the Mexican Revolution's 50th anniversary, and was in circulation until 1956. During this time, Mexico was experiencing rapid industrialization and urbanization, which led to a significant increase in the demand for currency. The 10 Pesos coin was one of the most widely used coins during this period, and its design featuring Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a leader of the Mexican War of Independence, was a symbol of Mexican pride and national identity.
