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 turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the administration of President Jose Santos Zelaya, who was facing opposition from conservative forces who opposed his plans for economic and political reforms. Despite the challenges, the coin was minted in limited quantities and has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
