Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1884 Puerto Rico 1 Dollar (Counterstamped) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Puerto Rico. The coin was issued during the Spanish colonial period, just a few years before Puerto Rico gained its independence from Spain in 1898. The coin's design features the Spanish coat of arms and the inscription "Puerto Rico" in Spanish, reflecting the island's status as a Spanish colony at the time. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
