Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Centavos coin from Chile is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1902, just a few years after Chile had experienced a civil war and was in the process of modernizing its economy. The coin's design, which features a depiction of a condor on one side and the Chilean coat of arms on the other, was meant to symbolize the country's growing sense of national identity and pride. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and had a relatively high weight of 10.0 grams made it a valuable and sought-after coin among collectors.
