Interesting fact
The ½ Décimo coin from Chile was minted during a time of economic and political stability in the country, which was known as the "Golden Age" of Chile. This period saw significant economic growth, industrialization, and urbanization, which led to an increased demand for currency. As a result, the ½ Décimo coin was introduced as a new denomination to meet the needs of everyday transactions. It was widely used and remained in circulation until it was eventually replaced by smaller denominations in the early 20th century.
