Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 9g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1969 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. The coin features the image of Jose Maria Morelos, a Mexican revolutionary leader, on one side and the Mexican coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
