Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Cents (Pattern) 1890 from Liberia made of Bronze is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Liberia. The coin was minted in 1890 as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for consideration as a regular issue coin, but it was ultimately rejected. Despite this, the Pattern 2 Cents coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
