Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Francos (Pattern) 1862 from Ecuador made of Gold (.900) is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. It was minted in 1862 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly valuable and sought after by collectors and numismatists. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold (.900) adds to its value and rarity, making it an especially unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
