Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pesos 1838-1846 coin from Colombia is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued by the Republic of Colombia, which had declared its independence from Spain in 1810, but was facing challenges from internal conflicts and foreign intervention. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely used in trade and commerce.
