Comment
Although this piece is listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins as a pattern, it is listed in the official mint publication "Domestic and Foreign Coins Manufactured by Mints of the United States," which does not list patterns or trials.Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from the Dominican Republic, minted between 1978 and 1981, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.900) and copper (.100), it has a unique shape, known as a "equilateral curved heptagon." This means that the coin has seven sides, and each side is equally long, creating a distinctive and eye-catching design.
