Comment
20 Centavos coins are minted over the punched out cores of the rings used to make the 2 Peso coins (KM#604), which was the main reason for the change in size and material (to use the cores instead of remelting them).Interesting fact
The 20 Centavos coin from Mexico features the national emblem of Mexico, which includes an eagle devouring a snake. This symbol is known as the "Coat of Arms of Mexico" and has been used in various forms since 1821. The eagle represents the Mexican people and their struggle for independence, while the snake represents the Spanish colonial powers that Mexico fought against. The coin's design serves as a reminder of Mexico's rich history and its fight for independence.
