Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Centavos (Trial Strike) 1965 from Nicaragua made of Nickel is a rare and unique coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was created as a trial strike to test the dies and minting process, and never entered circulation. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
