I finally got a Mexico railroad 1950 5 pesos after 40 years
I have wanted this particular Mexican coin since I was a kid in the 1960's.
It was listed in Yeoman's Catalog of Modern World Coins in 1966 for $12.50 (Unc) and I couldn't afford it then.
Mexico 5 pesos 1950 "Inaugural of Southeastern Railway".
It is popular because it has a train on it and people like trains.
It is interesting to note that the date "1950" appears on both sides of the coin.

One interesting note is that the France Marianne-Rooster coin appeared on a French World War One poster.

The poster shows a French gold coin attacking a German soldier.
It was designed by Abel Faivre in 1915 and reads:
"Pour la France VERSEZ VOTRE OR" (For France, DONATE YOUR GOLD)
"L'Or Combat Pour La Victoire" (The Gold Fights for Victory)
A work of art becomes part of another work of art.
