1958 Mexican Peso

My first attempt at loading a coin and providing some details:

Front (Image of Jose Morelos) Tail (Inscription: Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Un Peso)
Description:
This 1958 Mexican Peso has the image of Jose Morelos (1765-1815). He joined Mexico's revolutionary movement against Spain and took command on July 31, 1811. He was executed by the Spanish on December 22, 1815, but the revolution was so strong by then that Mexico became an independent nation in 1821.
