Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Centavos coin from Cuba, made of Bronze in 1915, features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Cuba. Instead, it was used as a pattern coin, which was a trial design created to test the minting process and the public's reaction to the proposed design. This coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
