Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Centesimos coin from Uruguay, made of Gold and weighing 8.95g, is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted in 1930 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample. This coin is particularly interesting because it was produced during a time when Uruguay was experiencing economic and political turmoil, and the gold standard was being abandoned in favor of fiat currency. As a result, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a unique and sought-after piece among collectors.
