Interesting fact

The Pattern 6 Pingine - Reul (Trial) 1927 from Ireland made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial piece for a potential new currency design, but the design was ultimately rejected and the coins were never minted. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
