Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Centavos coin from Argentina, made of Nickel and weighing 6g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was designed in 1936 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for use. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
