On April 22, 2020, the Bank of Mexico put into circulation a 20-peso commemorative coin (0.75 euros) of the bimetallic type and with a dodecagonal shape (12 sides) alluding to the «500 years of the Foundation of the City and Puerto de Veracruz », a historical event, the Foundation of Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz, whose impact is equivalent to the birth of a Nation, the arrival of a culture that merges with indigenous cultures in a syncretism that survives.
The reverse shows a composition that refers to the founding of the Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz in April 1519. On the left side, a
sixteenth-century boat is shown on a stylization of the waves of the sea, and to the right, the profile of the Old City Hall, now the Municipal Palace. Above this building, as a novelty, there is a new
security element , the latent image, made up of the number twenty. On the left, above the boat and near the edge of the nucleus, you can see the micro text "500 VERACRUZ" and below the mintmark of the Mexican mint, Mo. On the contour of the field the legend "500 YEARS OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE CITY AND PORT OF VERACRUZ". Finally, in the exergue of the coin and encompassing both the perimeter ring and part of the nucleus, the denomination "$ 20" is shown; and the years "1519-2019" are on the left.
The obverse of this commemorative coin features the National Coat of Arms surrounded by the legend "UNITED MEXICAN STATES". It is legal tender, so it can be used to make any type of payment.
