Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Centesimos coin was designed by the Uruguayan artist and sculptor, José Belloni. He was known for his work in creating sculptures and monuments throughout Uruguay, and his design for the Pattern 2 Centesimos coin features a stylized image of a horse, which was meant to symbolize strength and freedom. The coin's design was never adopted as an official currency, but it remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
