Interesting fact

The 2 Pesos coin featuring Emiliano Zapata, issued in 1914 from the State of Guerrero, is made of copper. Interestingly, this coin was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Mexico, as the country was in the midst of the Mexican Revolution. The coin's design, which features Zapata on horseback, was meant to symbolize the struggle for land reform and social justice that Zapata and his followers were fighting for. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Mexican history and a testament to the enduring legacy of Zapata's movement.
