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 rare and valuable material at the time. This coin was issued during a period of political instability in Mexico, known as the Provisional Government, and its production was limited, making it a sought-after collector's item today.
