Interesting fact

The 2 Pesos 1915 coin from the State of Oaxaca is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, led to the overthrow of the dictator Porfirio Díaz and the establishment of a new constitution in 1917. The coin's silver content and the fact that it was minted in Oaxaca, a state known for its rich indigenous heritage, make it a unique piece of Mexican history.
