Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin was designed by Mexican artist José Guerrero Águila and features an eagle on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side features the national coat of arms of Mexico. The coin was minted in 1980 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new design. The use of brass as the material for the coin adds to its unique character and collectibility.
