Comment
These coins, along with their sister 25 cents from the same year, would not be approved because they were not seen as necessary at that time.
Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from Mexico, made of Copper in 1970, features an error on its obverse side. The coin was minted with the incorrect year, 1970, instead of the intended year, 1971. This mistake makes the coin a rare and unique collector's item among numismatists.
