Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Pesos (Pattern; Cabeza De Coyolxauhqui; No Obverse Legend; Brass) 1978 from Mexico is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional coat of arms or national emblem, this coin features an image of Cabeza De Coyolxauhqui, a mythological figure from Aztec mythology. This design was chosen to commemorate the 1978 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Argentina that year. The use of a mythological figure on a coin was a departure from the usual practice of featuring national symbols or leaders, and it added a unique touch to the coin's design.
