Interesting fact
The 2 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted between 1855 and 1856, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.667), it was designed with a unique shape, known as a "octagonal-shaped coin." This shape was chosen to differentiate it from other coins in circulation at the time and to prevent counterfeiting. The coin's weight of 6.2 grams also adds to its distinctiveness, as it is slightly heavier than other coins of similar size and composition. This coin's unique design and weight make it a fascinating piece for collectors and numismatists.
