Interesting fact
The 1914 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 coin was minted in the midst of the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920 and saw the overthrow of the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and the establishment of a new constitutional government. The coin's design, featuring the image of a serpent and an eagle, symbolizes the country's rich cultural heritage and its struggle for independence and democracy.
