Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Cents "Copper Disme" (Pattern) 1792 from the United States is interesting because it was one of the first coins ever produced by the U.S. Mint, and it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse (front) side of the coin shows a portrait of Liberty, while the reverse (back) side features an eagle and the words "DISME 10 CENTS." The coin was designed by John Reich and was minted in very small quantities, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item.
