Interesting fact
The ½ Decimo coin from Colombia, made of Silver (.666) and weighing 1.25g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country.

Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, suggests that it was intended to be a reliable and trustworthy form of currency for the Colombian people.
