Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1907-1929 Philippine 20 Centavos coin is that it was minted during the American colonial period in the Philippines, and it features an image of a young woman representing liberty, with a Filipino flag in the background. This design was meant to symbolize the country's transition towards independence, which was eventually achieved in 1946.
