Interesting fact
The 1 Peso coin from Colombia minted between 1855 and 1858 was made of silver (.900) and weighed 25 grams. This coin was significant because it was one of the first coins to be issued by the newly formed Republic of Colombia, which had gained independence from Spain in 1810. The coin's design featured the national emblem of Colombia, the Andean condor, and was minted in various cities across the country, including Bogota, Medellin, and Popayan. Despite its historical significance, the coin was not widely used due to its relatively low value and was eventually replaced by smaller denomination coins. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
