Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, made of Brass in 1979, features an error in its design. The eagle on the reverse side of the coin has its wings spread wide, but the tips of the wings are not fully formed, giving the appearance of a "square" wing tip. This error is known as the "square wing" variety and is highly sought after by collectors, making it a unique and interesting fact about this coin.
