Interesting fact
Did you know that the use of aluminum in the production of coins was a pioneering effort by Honduras in the early 1870s? The country was one of the first in the world to experiment with the use of aluminum in coinage, and the Pattern ¼ Real (Trial) 1872 coin is a rare and valuable example of this innovative approach. The use of aluminum in coins was a significant departure from the traditional metals used in coinage, such as gold, silver, and copper, and marked an important milestone in the history of numismatics.
