Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo (Aluminium Piedfort) 1892 from Nicaragua made of Aluminium is interesting because it was minted during a time when aluminum was still a relatively new and expensive metal, and its use in coinage was not yet widespread. In fact, the use of aluminum in coins did not become more common until the early 20th century. This coin's unique composition and historical context make it a valuable and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
