Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 100 Colones (Pattern) 1971 from El Salvador made of Gold plated brass is that it was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new design, but it was ultimately not adopted as the official currency of El Salvador. Despite this, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its unique design and rarity.
