Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Centavos coin from Argentina, made of Nickel and weighing 5.58g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was minted in 1941 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a prototype or sample coin for the 50 centavos denomination, but it was never officially released or circulated. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and coin collectors.
