Interesting fact
The 2 Decimos coin from Colombia, minted in 1865, was part of a series of coins that were produced during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin's design features a depiction of the Colombian national coat of arms on one side and the denomination and year of minting on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. This fact highlights the importance of the coin as a symbol of national identity and the value placed on it by the Colombian government and people.
