Comment
Similar but not an exact copy of KM#Pn235 as they were trial strikes of different models.Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, made of Copper in 1985, features an error in its design. The coin was mistakenly minted with the reverse side of the 1985 10 Peso coin, which features the image of a volcano, instead of the intended design for the 1 Peso coin. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
