Interesting fact

The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Durango, made of Lead in 1914, is interesting because it was issued during the Mexican Revolution, a time of great political and social upheaval in Mexico. Despite the turmoil, the coin was still minted and used in circulation, indicating the importance of currency and trade during this period. Additionally, the use of lead as a material for the coin was likely a result of the limited resources available during the war, showcasing the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Durango during this time.
