Interesting fact
The 1915 20 Centavos coin from the State of Mexico is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico's history. The coin was issued during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920 and saw the overthrow of the country's long-standing dictator, Porfirio Díaz, and the establishment of a new constitution and government. Despite the turmoil of this period, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, featuring an image of the Mexican national emblem on one side and the denomination and year on the other. This coin is a tangible reminder of Mexico's rich history and the resilience of its people during times of upheaval.
