Interesting fact
The 1 Barilla coin was part of a decimal system of currency introduced by the Spanish colonial government in the Philippines in 1857.

It's worth noting that the 1 Barilla coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
