Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from the Philippines, minted in 1967 and made of bronze, features a unique design that was never officially adopted as currency. It showcases a portrait of Francisco Baltazar, a prominent Filipino poet and revolutionary, on the obverse, and a representation of the Philippine map on the reverse. This pattern coin is a rare and fascinating piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into an alternative vision for the country's currency.
