Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from the Philippines, made of copper in 1966, features a unique design that was never officially released into circulation. Instead, it was produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for consideration by the government or mint officials. This coin's design features a portrait of President Manuel L. Quezon on the obverse (front) side, and the Philippine coat of arms on the reverse (back) side. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
