Interesting fact
The 1 Décimo coin from Colombia was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. In 1863, Colombia was facing a severe economic crisis, and the government decided to introduce a new currency to address the issue. The 1 Décimo coin was one of the coins introduced during this time, and it was made of silver to help stabilize the economy. Despite the challenges faced by the country during this period, the 1 Décimo coin remained in circulation until 1866, and it has since become a sought-after collector's item.
