Comment
These coins were minted to the specifications of the Latin Monetary Union.Interesting fact
The 10 Pesos 1892 coin from El Salvador is interesting because it was one of the first coins to be issued by the country after it gained independence from Spain in 1821. It was also the first coin to feature the national emblem of El Salvador, which includes a shield with the words "Dios, Union, Libertad" (God, Unity, Liberty) inscribed on it. Additionally, the coin's design was inspired by the Mexican peso, which was the official currency of El Salvador at the time.
