Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Centavos coin from Colombia made of Silver (.835) weighing 5g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1875, and its production continued until 1885, a period marked by civil wars, political turmoil, and economic struggles. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used denomination and was an important part of everyday transactions in Colombia during that time.
