DescriptionThe bill for twenty ("veinte") pesos is from Chihuahua, Mexico. The bill has a black stamp that reads "Tesorería General del Estado Chihuahua" within an ornate circle. There are also dark red designs and an image of a large, ornate, building in the center of the peso surrounded by heraldic imagery and a designed border. There are two griffins holding on to the border around the building as well as an ornate border of criss-crossed lines going around the peso on all four sides. On the top two corners is a decorative circle with "Veinte Pesos" written around it and a "20" written within. At the bottom two corners are the same circles with the same writing except the roman numeral "XX" is written within.On View
