Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1915, during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920. The Constitutionalist Army, which is featured on the coin, was a faction that fought against the government of Venustiano Carranza, who was the leader of the revolution at the time. Despite the political instability, the coin was still minted and used as a form of currency, highlighting the resilience of the Mexican people during this period.
