Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Centavo (Piedfort) 1892 from El Salvador made of Bronze weighing 7.69g is that it is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1892 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of bronze and has a weight of 7.69g makes it stand out from other coins of its time, which were typically made of silver or gold and had different weight standards.
