Comment
Catalogs have this pattern marked as Gold, but it is an error because this pattern's Reverse was used in the KM#179 Gold Peso.Interesting fact
This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples existing in the numismatic community. Its rarity is due to the fact that it was never officially released into circulation, and most of the coins were melted down or destroyed over time. As a result, finding one in good condition can be a challenging and rewarding experience for collectors.
