Interesting fact
The 1 Décimo coin was part of a decimalization effort in Chile during the 19th century, aimed at replacing the old Spanish colonial system of pesos and reales with a new system based on the peso as the basic unit of currency. The coin was introduced in 1860 and was equivalent to 1/10 of a peso. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver (.900) and weighed 2.3 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
