Interesting fact

The 1915 20 Pesos coin from the State of Oaxaca is a rare and unique coin, as it was minted 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 circulating currency during the Mexican Revolution. What makes this coin even more interesting is that it was made of gold, specifically .150 gold, which adds to its value and rarity. This coin is a fascinating piece of Mexican history and a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
