Interesting fact
The 50 Centavos coin from the Philippines, minted between 1907 and 1921, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver and copper, the coin was designed with a unique combination of metals, with 75% silver and 25% copper. This composition was unusual for coins of that time, as most coins were made of either pure silver or copper. This blend of metals was chosen to enhance the coin's durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it a notable fact in numismatics.
