Interesting fact

The 10 Centésimos coin from Uruguay, issued in 1930 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Constitution Pledge, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and cultural heritage. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of aluminum bronze, a metal alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that time period. Aluminum bronze is a combination of aluminum, copper, and sometimes other metals, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to corrosion. The use of this material in the production of coins like the 10 Centésimos helped to ensure that they would remain in circulation for a long time, and many of these coins have survived to this day as collector's items.
