Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from Costa Rica, made of Brass in 1917, features a unique design that was never officially adopted as currency. Instead, it was used as a sample or pattern for a potential redesign of the 10 centavos coin, which was ultimately never produced. This makes the Pattern 10 Centavos coin a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Costa Rican currency.
