Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Centavos coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel (85% Copper, 15% Nickel) and weighing 4g, has an interesting fact that it was minted with a unique pattern. The obverse features the national coat of arms, while the reverse displays the denomination and the year of issue. However, the pattern on the coin is not the standard design used on regular circulating coins, but rather a special design created specifically for this pattern coin. This makes it a distinctive and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
