Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Centavos 1867 from Chile made of Copper is a rare and unique coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was designed by the Chilean engraver, Pedro Lisa, and features an image of a condor on one side and the Chilean coat of arms on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
