The Pattern 1 Peso - Rafael Carrera (Pattern strike) 1860 from Guatemala made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for circulation. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
