Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Nicaragua, made of Copper in 1892, is considered a rare and unique piece among collectors. Its design features a portrait of President Jose Santos Zelaya, who served from 1893 to 1909, on the obverse, and the national coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in limited quantities as a pattern strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and numismatists, making it a valuable and interesting addition to any collection.
