The 1 Centavo coin from Peru, made of Bronze and weighing 5.2g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was minted between 1909 and 1939, a period that saw the rise and fall of several governments, including the authoritarian regime of Augusto B. Leguía, who ruled Peru from 1919 to 1930. Despite the political instability, the coin remained a stable symbol of Peruvian currency and was widely used in everyday transactions.
