Interesting fact

The 20 Cents coin from Zimbabwe was introduced in 1980 and was in circulation until 1997. During this time, the coin underwent a design change in 1989, with the introduction of a new reverse design that featured a stylized image of a bird, meant to symbolize the country's rich wildlife. This design change was done to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Zimbabwe's independence.
