Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern ¼ Dollar (Pattern) 1889 from Liberia made of Bronze is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as an official currency. The coin was minted in 1889 as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design, but it was ultimately rejected or not adopted for circulation. Despite this, the coin remains a fascinating piece of numismatic history and a sought-after collector's item.
