Interesting fact

The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, is interesting because it was issued during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was minted in 1914-1915, during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920. The Constitutionalist Army, which is featured on the coin, was a faction that emerged during this period and fought against the government of Venustiano Carranza. Despite the political instability, the coin was still widely used as a means of currency, and its brass composition made it a valuable commodity. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its historical significance but also for its rarity and unique design.
