Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Peso coin featuring Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos was designed by the Philippine Mint in 1966, but it was never officially released into circulation. Instead, a limited number of coins were struck as patterns, which were given to dignitaries and collectors as gifts. This makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
