Comment
The bimetallic design was later used for the Nuevo Peso currency.Interesting fact
The Pattern 500 Pesos coin from Mexico, made of bimetallic material with a brass center in a stainless steel ring, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1988 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. As a result, the mintage of this coin is relatively low, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
