Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Pesos 1878 from Chile made of Copper is a rare and unique coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was designed by the Chilean engraver, Pedro Lopez, and features an image of the Chilean coat of arms on one side and the denomination and year on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
