Interesting fact

The 1915 20 Centavos coin from the State of Aguascalientes is interesting because it was produced during a time of great political and social change in Mexico. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, led to the overthrow of the country's long-standing dictator, Porfirio Díaz, and the establishment of a new constitution and government. This coin was minted during the early years of this period, and its design reflects the political and cultural shifts that were taking place in Mexico at the time.
