Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Cent (Pattern) 1890 from Liberia made of Bronze weighing 7.1g is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. It was minted in 1890 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly valuable among collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of bronze and has a unique design featuring a liberty head on one side and a wreath on the other, makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its appeal.
