Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Pesos coin from Mexico, made of Brass in 1972, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a national hero or a historical event, this coin features a stylized image of a tree, symbolizing the country's commitment to environmental conservation and sustainability. This design choice was ahead of its time, as environmental awareness was not as widespread in the early 1970s as it is today. It makes the coin stand out among other currency designs and demonstrates Mexico's pioneering spirit in promoting eco-friendliness.
