Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Reales coin from the Dominican Republic, minted in 1855, is a rare and unique piece, with only 200 coins minted. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. This coin is particularly interesting because it features a design that was not ultimately adopted for the Dominican Republic's currency, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
