Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Décimo coin from Ecuador is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was introduced in 1884, just a few years after Ecuador had experienced a devastating civil war, and it was minted until 1916, a time of political instability and economic turmoil. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a popular form of currency and a symbol of national pride.
