Comment
Minted in 1943.Interesting fact
The 1942 Bolivian 20 Centavos coin made of zinc is interesting because it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in Bolivia. In 1942, the country was experiencing high inflation and economic instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Boliviano, in 1943. The 20 Centavos coin was one of the last coins minted before the changeover, making it a unique piece of history.
