Comment
Trial issue for KM# 21Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Centésimos (Essai) 1924 from Uruguay made of Nickel is that it was designed by the renowned Uruguayan artist, José Belloni. Belloni was known for his work in various artistic fields, including sculpture, painting, and numismatics. He was commissioned by the Uruguayan government to create a new design for the 5 centésimos coin, and his design was ultimately chosen and produced in 1924. The coin features a depiction of a horse on one side and the Uruguayan coat of arms on the other. The use of nickel in the coin's production was also a notable feature, as it was a departure from the traditional copper or silver used in other coins of the time.
