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, had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. The introduction of this coin was a response to the need for a new currency system that would address the economic challenges of the time. The coin's design, featuring the image of a cacalotepec, a type of wild boar found in the region, is also notable for its unique representation of the state's natural resources and cultural heritage.
