Interesting fact
The 50 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, issued in 1915, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a unusual choice for a circulating coin at that time. Most coins of that era were made of copper or nickel, so the use of silver for this coin makes it stand out. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by a provisional government adds to its historical significance, as it was a time of political turmoil in Mexico.
