Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Centavos coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 14g, features an error in its design. The coin was intended to have a reeded edge, but due to a mistake during the minting process, it was released with a smooth edge instead. This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable variation of the Pattern 50 Centavos coin.
