Interesting fact
The ¼ Peso coin from Peru, made of copper and weighing 9.3g, is interesting because it was part of the provisional coinage issued during the Peruvian War of Independence. This coin was minted in 1823, a time of great political and social upheaval in Peru, and its issuance was a response to the need for a stable currency during this period. Despite its relatively small denomination, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item.
