Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos 1909 coin from Ecuador made of Copper-nickel is interesting because it was produced during a time when Ecuador was experiencing economic and political instability, and the coin's design and materials reflect this. The coin features a simple design with the Ecuadorian coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other, and its copper-nickel composition was likely chosen for its durability and affordability. Despite its humble design and materials, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Latin American currency.
