Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Centavos coin from Ecuador is that it was designed by the famous Ecuadorian artist, Oswaldo Guayasamín. The coin features an image of a indigenous woman on one side and the Ecuadorian coat of arms on the other. Guayasamín was known for his work that highlighted the struggles and cultural heritage of indigenous people in Ecuador, and his design for the 20 Centavos coin is a reflection of that.
