Interesting fact

The Liberian Pattern ¼ Dollar coin from 1889 is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin to test the design and production process. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
