Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Peso coin from Honduras, minted in 1862, is a rare and unique piece among numismatists due to its silver-plated bronze composition. This coin was part of a small test batch struck in 1862, and it features a design that was never adopted for regular circulation. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item, with only a few examples known to exist in collections worldwide.
