Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos 1883 coin from Bolivia made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. Bolivia was facing a severe economic crisis in the late 19th century, and the government was forced to debase the currency by issuing coins with lower metal content. Despite this, the 2 Centavos coin remained a popular denomination and was widely used in everyday transactions. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in South American coinage.
