CENTAVO

Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Nicaragua, made of Aluminum in 1892, 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. The fact that Nicaragua chose to use Aluminum for this coin suggests that the country was experimenting with new materials and technologies in their coinage, which makes this coin a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
