Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1954 (1955) Venezuelan 25 Céntimos coin is that it was made of a unique silver-copper alloy, with 83.5% silver and 16.5% copper. This composition was used to reduce the cost of producing the coin, as silver was becoming increasingly expensive at the time. The use of a silver-copper alloy was a common practice among many countries in the mid-20th century, but it is still an interesting aspect of this coin's history.
