A new Bi-metallic 5 Pesos 2010 from Mexico, depicting Venustiano Carranza(1850-1920)

The presence of Carranza in the Mexican Revolution was nationalistic, legal and civil process. He led the fight against Victoriano Huerta by Enactment of Plan de Guadalupe, which brought together, at least for some time, the various revolutionary forces. Despite having adopted agrarian principles, he faced the forces of Zapata and Villa. As First Chief of Constitutionalism, convened the Constituent Congress of 1916 and enacted the 1917 Constitution. In 1920, before the disputes that faced the revolutionary Sonora, was killed by forces loyal to Tlaxcalaltongo Álvaro Obregón.
