Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Pesos coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 10g, has an interesting fact that it was designed by Mexican artist and engraver, José de Creeft. He was known for his unique style that combined traditional Mexican folk art with modernist influences, and his design for the Pattern 10 Pesos coin reflects this blend of styles. The coin features an image of a woman, representing the Mexican people, surrounded by symbols of the country's rich cultural heritage, such as the Aztec calendar and the national bird, the eagle. This design was chosen as the winner of a national competition held by the Mexican government in 1974, and it was minted from 1974 to 1976.
