Interesting fact

The 5 Centavos coin from Mexico, featuring Maximiliano I, has an interesting fact: it was minted during a brief period of French rule in Mexico, known as the Second Mexican Empire (1864-1867). This period saw the introduction of the franc as the national currency, and the 5 Centavos coin was one of the denominations minted during this time.
