Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo 1883 coin from Bolivia made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. Bolivia was facing a severe economic crisis in the late 19th century, and the government was forced to debase the currency by issuing coins with lower metal content. Despite this, the 1 Centavo coin remained a popular denomination among the population, and its copper composition made it a valuable commodity. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item, and its historical significance makes it an interesting piece of Bolivian numismatics.
