Interesting fact
The 1 Décimo de Real coin from Colombia, minted between 1847 and 1848, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of the condor, a large South American bird, on its reverse side. This design was meant to symbolize the country's rich natural resources and its connection to the Andean region.
