Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Barillo coin from the Philippines, made of lead in 1739, is a rare and unique piece of numismatic history. It is interesting to note that lead coins were not commonly used in circulation due to their low value and tendency to corrode easily. Therefore, the fact that this coin was made of lead and still survives today makes it an even more fascinating artifact for collectors and historians.
