Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, made of Brass in 1985, features an error in its design. The coin was mistakenly minted with the reverse side of the 1985 1 Peso coin, which features the national emblem of Mexico, instead of the intended design for the Pattern 1 Peso coin. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
