Interesting fact

The 50 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, issued in 1915, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was commonly used for coinage in Mexico during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was issued by the Provisional Government, which was a temporary government established during the Mexican Revolution. This coin serves as a reminder of the political and social changes that were taking place in Mexico during that time.
