CENTAVO
1852
Interesting fact
The ½ Centavo 1852 coin from Venezuela was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced as a replacement for the 1/4 real coin, which had been in circulation since 1833. The ½ Centavo coin was intended to be a more practical denomination for everyday transactions, as it was valued at half of a centavo, a fraction of the 1/4 real coin. Despite its introduction during a time of economic uncertainty, the ½ Centavo coin remained in circulation for several decades and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
