Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 9g, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional national coat of arms, it depicts a portrait of José María Morelos, a prominent leader in Mexico's struggle for independence from Spain. This design was only used on a few trial coins in 1969 and was never officially adopted, making it a rare and interesting variation for collectors.
