Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Pesos coin from Mexico, made of Brass in 1978, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional coat of arms, it depicts the head of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec goddess of the moon and sister of the sun god Huitzilopochtli. This design was only used on a few pattern coins and is not found on any regular issue coins, making it a rare and interesting collector's item.
