Interesting fact
The 3 Centavos coin from the Provisional Government of Oaxaca in 1915 is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Mexico. The Provisional Government was established in 1915 by Venustiano Carranza, who would later become the leader of the Mexican Revolution, and the coin was minted as a way to finance the government's military efforts. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and valuable, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
