Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from El Salvador, made of white metal, is considered a rare and unique piece among collectors. It was minted in 1892 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new design. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
