Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from Colombia is that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1872, and its production was discontinued in 1874, which suggests that it may have been replaced by a different denomination or design. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during that time period, but it was later replaced by cheaper metals as silver became less abundant and more expensive.
