Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo 1854 coin was the first coin to be issued by the Argentine Confederation, which was a short-lived political entity that existed from 1854 to 1861. The coin was minted in Chile, as Argentina did not have its own mint at the time. Despite its low denomination, the coin was made of copper, which was a valuable metal at the time, and weighed 4.9 grams. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
