Comment
Portrait for the KM-483.1 type but with less of the bottoms of the jacket present and the normal legend replaced by "PLATA PURA 25 Gr." The collar of the coat shows no texture and the value and date characters are not perfectly aligned, especially evident on the date numerals.Interesting fact
The Pattern 100 Pesos (Pattern; Morelos, Version 2) 1976 from Mexico, made of Silver weighing 27g, is a rare and unique coin. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample. This coin features the portrait of Jose Maria Morelos, a Mexican independence leader, on the obverse, and the Mexican coat of arms on the reverse. The fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, adds to its rarity and collectibility. Additionally, the coin's weight of 27g is unusual for a coin of its size, making it stand out among other coins. Its unique combination of features and rarity make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
