Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from El Salvador was designed by the French engraver and designer, Charles E. Feuillet, who was also responsible for designing the coin's obverse. The coin's reverse features a depiction of the volcano El Salvador, which is located in the country's capital city of San Salvador. The coin was minted in 1894 and was intended to be used as a circulating coin, but it was never widely circulated and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
