Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Pesos (Pattern Strike) 1871 from Honduras made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the design and production process, and only a small number of coins were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history.
