Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo (Essai) 1878 from Dominican Republic is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the presidency of Ulises Heureaux, who was facing opposition from various political factions and was struggling to maintain stability in the country. Despite these challenges, the coin still features a beautiful design, including a portrait of Heureaux on one side and the national coat of arms on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex political and economic context of the Dominican Republic during the late 19th century.
