Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Decimo Real (Pattern) 1822 from Buenos Aires (Argentine provinces) made of Copper weighing 6.6g is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. It was minted in 1822 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly valuable and sought after by collectors and numismatists.
