Interesting fact
The 1 Peso ND (1859) coin from the City of Copiapó (Chilean States) made of Silver weighing 22.3g is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic change in Chile. The coin was issued during the period of the Chilean States, which was a short-lived confederation of provinces that lasted from 1856 to 1859. This coin is a tangible reminder of that moment in history and serves as a symbol of the economic and political transformations that were taking place in Chile during that time.
