Interesting fact
The 1861 Medio Octavo coin from the State of Jalisco is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico. The coin was issued during the Second Mexican Empire, which was established by the French government in 1864, and it features an image of the Mexican emperor, Maximilian I, on one side and the Jalisco state coat of arms on the other. Despite the tumultuous period in which it was minted, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
