Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Mexico, made of copper and weighing 2.83g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Mexico's history. The coin was issued in 1915, just a few years after the Mexican Revolution, which had a profound impact on the country's political, social, and economic landscape. The coin's design, featuring the national emblem of Mexico, the eagle and the cactus, symbolizes the country's resilience and determination to rebuild and move forward after a period of great turmoil.
