Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centesimo / 1 Baiocco (Obverse Trial strike) ND (1859) from United Provinces of Central Italy (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 10g is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike, which means it was produced as a test run to evaluate the quality of the coin design and production process. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
