Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from Chile, produced between 1920 and 1941, has an interesting feature. It was designed by the Chilean artist, Luis Ureta, who was known for his work in numismatics and was also a professor at the University of Chile. Ureta's design for the coin featured the Chilean national emblem, the Andean condor, on one side, and the denomination and year of issue on the other. This coin was significant because it was the first time that a Chilean coin featured the Andean condor, which has since become a symbol of Chilean identity and pride.
