Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from El Salvador, made of white metal in 1892, features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of the country. Instead, it was used as a pattern coin, which was a trial design that was not released into circulation. This coin's design features a portrait of a woman representing liberty, surrounded by a wreath of coffee and banana leaves, which were significant crops in El Salvador at the time. The coin's reverse side features the national coat of arms and the denomination. This pattern coin is a rare and interesting piece of numismatic history, and its unique design makes it stand out among other coins from the same era.
