Comment
Proposed for the state of Cauca, but never adopted.Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Centavos coin from the State of Cauca (Colombian states) made of Copper in 1890 is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic change in Colombia. The country was transitioning from a federal system to a centralized government, and the coinage was being standardized across the different states. The Pattern 2 Centavos coin was likely minted as a trial or sample coin, and its design and composition may have been experimental or prototype. Its rarity and historical significance make it an interesting piece for collectors and historians.
