Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Chile, minted between 1899 and 1907, has an interesting feature. It was made of silver, specifically 50% silver, which was a common composition for coins at that time. However, what makes it stand out is that it weighs only 1 gram, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation. This is remarkable considering that coins of similar value and composition usually weigh more. This unique feature makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
