Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Cents (Pattern) 1890 from Liberia made of Bronze weighing 10.5g 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 a potential coin design, but it was ultimately rejected and never circulated. Despite its rejection, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
