Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, issued in 1957 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the country's constitution, features an unusual design element - a raised, circular platform on the reverse side, surrounding the coat of arms. This feature was intended to create a sense of depth and dimensionality, and was a departure from the traditional flat design of most coins.
