Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Guerrero, Mexico, has an interesting feature. It has a unique design on its reverse side, which depicts a local plant called "cacahuatepec," which means "pea hill" in the Nahuatl language. This design was created by the Mexican engraver, Antonio de la Vega, and it's a distinctive characteristic of this coin.
