Interesting fact
The Pattern 4 Reales coin from Guatemala, minted in 1893, is a rare and unique piece, with only 500 units produced. It was created as a trial strike, which means it was not meant for circulation but rather as a sample for the government to evaluate the design and production process. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
