Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pesos 1857-1858 coin from Colombia is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the civil war between the conservative and liberal parties, which lasted from 1856 to 1860. Despite the conflict, the coin was still widely accepted and used as a means of payment, indicating the resilience and resourcefulness of the Colombian people during difficult times.
