Interesting fact
The ½ Dinero 1885 coin from Peru made of Silver (.900) weighing 1.25 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Peru, and its production was a response to the country's need for a stable currency. The coin's design features the Peruvian coat of arms and was minted in limited quantities, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
