Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Centavos coin from Costa Rica (1889-1893) is that it was minted with a unique blend of metals, specifically 75% silver and 25% copper, which is unlike most coins of its time that were typically made of a single metal like copper, silver, or gold. This blend of metals gives the coin a distinctive appearance and makes it stand out among other coins from the same era.
