Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Centavos coin from Argentina, made of Nickel and weighing 6.2 grams, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was minted in 1940 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 distributed. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
