Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Pesos coin from Mexico, made of Copper in 1979, features an error on the obverse side. Instead of the usual image of the national coat of arms, it features a depiction of a pelota player, which is a traditional Mexican sport. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
