Interesting fact
The ½ Sol coin from Peru, made of Silver (.500) and weighing 12.5g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Peru, known as the "Oncenio" period, which lasted from 1919 to 1930. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's design remained unchanged during this period, featuring the Peruvian coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. This coin is a testament to the country's resilience and ability to maintain its currency despite economic hardships.
