Question
Hi Brad. Can you please tell me who is the effigy on the Mexican 5 Pesos - 1974. Many thanks. Helen
Hi Helen, the man on this copper-nickel coin is Vincente Guerrero, general during the War of Independence against Spain.

You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
