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, it was the first time that aluminum was used in coinage in Nicaragua, making it a unique and notable issue in the country's numismatic history.
