Interesting fact
The Pattern ¼ Real (Pattern) 1861 from State of Sinaloa made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico. It is interesting to note that this coin was minted using a different metal, copper, than the standard silver or gold that was commonly used for currency at the time. This decision to use copper was likely made due to the scarcity of precious metals during this period. Additionally, the fact that it is a pattern coin, meaning it was minted as a prototype or sample, adds to its rarity and historical significance.
