Interesting fact

The 1917 20 Centavos coin from the State of Guerrero, Mexico, made of silver, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and social change in Mexico. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, was still ongoing in 1917, and the country was experiencing significant upheaval and violence. Despite this, the coin was still being produced and circulated, indicating the resilience and determination of the Mexican people during this tumultuous period.
