Interesting fact
The 2 Pesos 1915 coin from the State of Oaxaca made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico. The Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920, had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. The 2 Pesos coin was introduced in 1915 as a replacement for the old peso, which had been devalued due to the war. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a nod to the country's rich mineral resources and an attempt to stabilize the currency. This coin is a tangible piece of history that speaks to the economic and political shifts that occurred during this tumultuous period in Mexico.
