Interesting fact

The 10 Escudos coin from Chile, made of Aluminium and weighing 2.0 grams, is interesting because it was one of the last coins to be issued before Chile transitioned to a new currency, the Chilean peso, in 1975. This coin was part of a series of coins minted in the 1970s that featured the national emblem of Chile on one side and the denomination on the other. Despite being made of a relatively lightweight material, the coin still maintains a certain level of collectibility due to its historical significance and the fact that it is no longer in circulation.
