Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Aguascalientes (Mexican States) made of Copper and weighing 7.13g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico. The coin was issued in 1915, just a few years after the Mexican Revolution, which overthrew the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and established a new constitution and government. This coin is a tangible reminder of that pivotal moment in Mexican history.
