Interesting fact
The 4 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted between 1827 and 1829, has an interesting feature. It was made of silver (.903) and weighed 13.5 grams, which was unusual for a coin of its denomination at that time. Most coins of similar value were made of copper or nickel, and were much lighter in weight. The use of silver in this coin's minting process was likely a deliberate choice to signify its value and importance.
