Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Centavos coin from Mexico, made of stainless steel and weighing 4.1 grams, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1981 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or trial coin. The coin features the Palenque archaeological site on the reverse side, which is a notable Mayan ruin located in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The obverse side features the national coat of arms of Mexico. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it an interesting and valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Mexican history and culture.
