Interesting fact
This coin is considered a rare and unique error coin, as it was mistakenly minted with the wrong metal, Aluminium, instead of the usual Cupro-Nickel or Stainless Steel used for Costa Rican coins. This error has led to its high value among collectors, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
