Rarely has a 1 cent coin attracted as much attention as a coin that began circulating in 2002. Although it may seem ordinary, this coin could be worth tens of thousands of euros: up to 50,000 euros, according to experts.

According to the newspaper El Español, these are not antique pieces or pieces of historical value; the coin in question is just over two decades old and is a real find in the numismatic world.

According to the same source, the particularity of this 1 cent coin from 2002 is its material and design.

It was created by the German architect Rolf Lederbogen, and features an oak tree on the back, a traditional symbol of German culture.

What sets it apart is its metal composition, which is different from other coins in the same series, giving it a brighter and rarer hue.

This uniqueness, combined with the fact that there are only a very small number of copies, has made it highly sought after at auction.

The newspaper writes that this German coin, unique in its kind, has already been sold for amounts that have reached 50,000 euros.

An amount that far exceeds its face value, but which reflects the scarcity and interest of the most demanding collectors.

The publication adds that this appreciation makes it one of the most sought-after pieces in contemporary numismatics.

The same source mentions that the coin is easily identifiable by its unusual colour and oak tree motif, as well as the Berlin mint mark. Although similar to the others, these differences highlight their value.
