The coin's silver content was sourced from the country's own mines, which were a significant source of wealth for the Chilean government. The 1 Décimo coin was an important part of Chile's currency system during this period, and it remained in circulation until the early 20th century. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item, prized for its historical significance and its silver content.
