Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Réis coin from Brazil, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 3.48g, is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1869 as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This fact makes it particularly interesting and valuable to collectors.
