Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Centavos (Gold Pattern) 1868 from Bolivia made of Gold is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. 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 never adopted for use. This coin is particularly interesting because it is made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins produced in Bolivia during that period.
