Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso (Pattern) 1851 from Chile made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was minted in limited quantities as a trial or sample coinage, and was never officially circulated. It features a design that was not ultimately adopted for regular coinage, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
