Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from Chile is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of 45% silver and 55% copper. This is unusual because most coins from this time period were made of a higher percentage of silver or a different metal altogether. The use of Billon in this coin's production adds a unique aspect to its history and collectibility.
