Interesting fact
The ½ Centavo 1890 coin from Ecuador made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was issued during the presidency of Antonio Flores, who was facing a severe economic crisis and had to implement drastic measures to stabilize the economy. Despite the challenges, the coin was still minted with a relatively high level of precision and quality, reflecting the craftsmanship and skill of the mint workers at the time.
