Interesting fact
The Pattern 500 Pesos coin was designed by Mexican artist and engraver, José de la Vega, and features a portrait of Francisco I. Madero, who was a Mexican revolutionary leader and politician. The coin was minted in 1989 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. The use of brass as the material for the coin adds to its unique character and historical significance.
