Interesting fact

The Pattern 100,000 Pesos coin from Mexico is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1990 as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a trial or sample coin to test the design and production process. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
