Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Escudos coin from Mexico, made of Brass in 1832, has an interesting fact that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. This coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted during this time, and its design features the Mexican eagle on the obverse and the crowned arms of Mexico on the reverse. Despite its small weight of 3.34 grams, it remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
