Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1953 El Salvador 25 Centavos coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued in the year that El Salvador gained its independence from Spain, and it features an image of the country's national hero, Jose Miguel de la Vega, on its obverse side. Additionally, the coin's silver and copper composition was a common feature of many circulating coins at the time, but its relatively low weight of 2.5 grams made it stand out among other coins of similar value.
