Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Centavos (Essai) 1878 from Dominican Republic is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was part of a series of experimental issues minted in the late 19th century, and its design and composition were meant to address the need for a more stable currency. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
