Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Céntimos (Pattern) ND (1928) from Costa Rica made of Copper-nickel is a rare and unique coin, with only 1000 pieces minted. It was designed by the Costa Rican artist, Tomás Povedano, and features the national coat of arms on one side and a pattern of stars and rays on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
