Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Pesos coin from Mexico, made of Copper in 1978, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional national coat of arms, it depicts the head of Cabeza De Coyolxauhqui, a powerful Aztec goddess associated with the moon, night, and fertility. This design choice was a departure from the standard imagery used on Mexican currency and showcases the country's rich cultural heritage.
