Interesting fact
The 2 Sucres coin from Ecuador, minted in 1944, is a unique piece due to its silver composition. It contains .720 silver, which was a common practice in coinage during that time period. However, it's interesting to note that the coin's weight is 10.0 grams, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for coins of similar size and composition. This slight variation in weight could be due to various factors, such as the specific minting process used or the presence of other metals in the alloy.
