Comment
This and N#397660 are identified as the same coin with the same KM number, but they are actually two different patters.
These coins were provided for in the decree of September 15, 1955 but would be rejected
Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel in 1955, features a unique design that was not used in the final version of the coin. The Pattern 1 Peso coin features a small portrait of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Mexican independence leader, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was not used in the final version of the coin, which instead features a larger portrait of Hidalgo y Costilla without the wreath. This makes the Pattern 1 Peso coin a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
