Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Cent (Pattern) 1888 from Liberia made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design, but it was ultimately rejected or not adopted for use. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
