Interesting fact
The 1884 Puerto Rico 1 Dollar coin was counterstamped with the letters "ND" to indicate that it was issued during the period of Spanish rule in Puerto Rico, specifically between 1875 and 1898. This coin was minted in Spain and was used as legal tender in Puerto Rico during that time.
