Interesting fact
The 2 Pesos coin from Colombia was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. In 1859, the Colombian government was facing financial difficulties and decided to introduce a new currency, the peso, to replace the old currency, the real. The 2 Pesos coin was one of the first coins minted in the new currency and was made of gold to symbolize the country's wealth and stability. Despite the challenges faced by the country at the time, the 2 Pesos coin has become a highly sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
