Interesting fact

The 20 Centavos coin from the State of Mexico features an image of a volcano on its reverse side. The volcano depicted is the Popocatépetl volcano, which is located in the central part of Mexico and is one of the country's most active volcanoes. The image of the volcano is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, symbolizing victory and honor. This design was created by the Mexican artist and engraver, Gilberto Pérez Solano, and it has been used on various Mexican coins since the early 1990s.
