Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from Chile is that it was minted with a unique silver composition of .500, which is 50% silver, whereas most coins of its time were made of a lower silver content or a different metal altogether. This makes it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and unique coinage.
