Interesting fact
The Pattern 8 Escudos coin from Mexico, made of Brass in 1823, features a unique design element - the eagle on the obverse (front side) has a thin neck and a small head, which is unlike the standard depiction of an eagle on Mexican coins. This variation is known as the "Thin Eagle" design and is considered a rare and interesting feature among coin collectors.
