Comment
NOTE: Each issue of KM#155.2 has a slightly different head. Legend spacing does also vary.Interesting fact
The 2 Décimos coin from Colombia was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1870, and its production was discontinued in 1872, due to the economic crisis caused by the civil war that broke out in 1876. Despite its short production run, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
