Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Sentimos (Ferdinand E. Marcos; pattern) 1966 from Philippines made of Copper is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The pattern coin was minted in 1966, but it was not released into circulation and instead remained a rare and collectible item. The coin's design features a portrait of President Ferdinand E. Marcos on the obverse and the Philippine coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors of Philippine numismatics.
