Comment
Similar to KM# Pn1Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo (Piedfort) 1892 from Costa Rica made of Tin is interesting because it was minted during a time when Costa Rica was experiencing economic difficulties, and the government was exploring alternative materials for coinage. Tin was chosen as a cost-effective option, and the coins were produced in limited quantities. As a result, these coins are now highly sought after by collectors, making them a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
