Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Centavos 1953 from Chile made of Aluminium is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a test or sample coin to evaluate the design and production process, but it was never approved for circulation. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
