Interesting fact
The 1915 Oaxaca 20 Pesos coin made of gold (.175) is a rare and unique coin that was issued during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico. The Provisional Government of Mexico issued this coin as a temporary solution to address the lack of small denomination coins in circulation. The use of gold in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to ensure its value and stability, given the high inflation rates of the time. This coin is a fascinating piece of Mexican history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
