Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo (Piedfort) 1892 from Costa Rica made of Aluminium is a rare and unique coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was created as a trial strike for a potential new currency design, but ultimately, it was not adopted, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
