Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Cents (Pattern) 1866 from Liberia made of Bronze weighing 9.2g is that it is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1866 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of bronze and has a relatively low weight of 9.2g makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were often made of precious metals like gold or silver.
