Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Mexico, made of Silver (.903) and weighing 1.4g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Mexico's history. The coin was introduced in 1869, just a few years after the end of the Mexican-American War, and was in circulation until 1898, a time of significant political and economic instability in the country. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used denomination, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the Mexican people.
