-This specimen was lot 34149 in Heritage sale 3098 (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $3,120. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Mexico]]: Republic copper Specimen Pattern Centavo 1862-Mo SP53 PCGS, Mexico City mint. By Paredes. Variety with artist's name below the reverse wreath. A highly attractive, if ultimately unadopted, proposed design for Mexico's first Centavo coinage. Though it would be Rovira's seated liberty that would feature on the obverse of the circulation coinage of the following year, Paredes' name still appeared as engraver. To date, we have been able to locate just 2 other examples having come to auction in the last decade, with a single SP55 certified finer at PCGS. Though mild wear graces the highest points of the design, the surfaces retain a glossy chocolate patina that proves thoroughly captivating. Selections from the Galleon Collection." The 1841 pattern shows the government's early intent to decimalize the currency as early as the 1840's but the political climate was not conducive, the government's attention being distracted by coups d'etat and rebellions. This pattern of 1862, issued at the conclusion of the War of the Reform, shows the regime getting serious. However, the first [[Mexico 1863-SLP centavo|centavos of 1863]] looked very similar to the original pattern of 1841.
