What is special about this?

Going through my coins, I ran into this one...1877 Un Centavo Venezuela. In checking to see if it was silver, I found out something interesting...if you know, keep quiet a little while to let others guess.

Pssst! What's the answer my friend?

 

It was struck in a US Mint.
Philadelphia Mint.

 

Not only that but the reverse is very telling

 

It has a similar design to the US Seated Dime

 

Yup, when I looked it up to see if it were silver, it said it was the first foreign coin struck by a US mint.

 

Bet you’re glad you have it!

 

Now I'm wondering who designed it. None of the sources I'm finding say anything about it. William Barber perhaps?

In looking up foreign coins struck by the US mint, I learned that the US struck 10 million Siam (Thailand) 1 satang for 1918 in addition to 4 million struck in by the Royal Siamese Mint. These were the first coins struck by the US mint with a hole in the center. Another 10 million were struck in 1919. (https://en.numista.com/6582) It caught my eye because I have one from 1935.
