Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Centavos (Gold Pattern) 1868 from Bolivia made of Gold is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately never adopted or produced in large quantities. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
