Interesting fact

The 1915 20 Centavos coin from the State of Aguascalientes is interesting because it was minted during the Mexican Revolution, a time of great political and social upheaval in Mexico. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the standard design of the Mexican peso, with the national coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. This coin is a tangible reminder of the country's history and the resilience of its people during times of crisis.
