Comment
KM 1901-2000 and numismaster.com split KM# KM# 161 into .1 and .2, claiming that 1919 coins are lighter and smaller. But coins from 1919 with a diameter of 20mm weighing 3.5g exist and no 2.5g coins have been found by the Numista community.Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Chile, minted between 1904 and 1919, features an image of a condor on its obverse side. The condor is a symbol of Chile and represents freedom, strength, and longevity. It's interesting to note that the condor is also the national bird of Chile and is considered a sacred animal in Andean culture.
