Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1919 Mexican 20 Centavos coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Mexico. The coin was issued during the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920 and saw the overthrow of the country's long-standing dictator, Porfirio Díaz, and the establishment of a new constitution and government. Despite the turmoil of this period, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of Mexico's rich history and cultural heritage.
