Interesting fact

The 2 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted between 1859 and 1863, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.903), it was designed with a unique wreath on the reverse side, which includes a variety of plants and flowers that are native to Bolivia. This adds a touch of cultural significance to the coin, making it stand out from other coins of its time.
