Interesting fact
The Pattern ¼ Peso coin from Peru, made of Copper in 1823, is interesting because it was minted during the brief period of Peruvian independence from Spain, known as the "Liga de los Pueblos Libres" (League of Free Peoples), which lasted from 1821 to 1824. This coin is a symbol of the country's struggle for independence and its desire for self-governance.
