Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo (Copper Piedfort) 1892 from Nicaragua made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the administration of President Jose Santos Zelaya, who was facing opposition from conservative forces and was eventually overthrown in 1893. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the former president on one side, making it a unique piece of Nicaraguan history.
