History
This 20 Pesos coin was issued by Mexico in 1985 to commemorate Guadalupe Victoria, the first President of Mexico who served from 1824 to 1829. The coin features his profile on the obverse and the Mexican national coat of arms with an eagle on the reverse. These brass coins were part of Mexico's circulating currency during a period of significant monetary reform in the mid-1980s. These coins appeal to numismatists and collectors of Latin American currency, particularly those interested in Mexican history and presidential commemoratives. The 1985 issue is especially sought after as it represents the first year of production for this denomination, making it historically significant for collectors of Mexican coinage and those who appreciate the cultural heritage of Mexico's early republican period.
