Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Centavos coin from Mexico, featuring the Cabeza Olmeca design, has a unique feature - it has a reversed portrait of the Olmec leader, with the facial features facing to the right instead of the usual left. This was a deliberate design choice to differentiate the coin from other coins featuring the same design.
