Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Mexico, made of Copper in 1841, features a unique lettered edge that reads "REPUBLICA MEXICANA" (Mexican Republic) in a counterclockwise direction. This lettering style was used for a brief period during the early years of Mexican independence and is considered a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
