Comment
This pattern and it's sister 25 centavos pattern with the same year would ultimately not be approved as they were deemed not needed at that time.
Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos coin was designed by Mexican artist and sculptor, José de Creeft, and features a portrait of Mexican president, Luis Echeverría Álvarez, on the obverse side, and the national coat of arms on the reverse side.
