Interesting fact

The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, featuring the Constitutionalist Army, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1914, during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920. The Constitutionalist Army, led by Venustiano Carranza, fought against the government of Victoriano Huerta, who had seized power after the assassination of President Francisco I. Madero. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains its value and is a sought-after collector's item.
