Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1858 Peruvian 50 Centimos coin is that it was part of a transitional coinage period in Peru, during which the country was transitioning from using Spanish colonial coinage to issuing its own national currency. This coin was minted in 1858, and it features the coat of arms of Peru on one side and the denomination on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was also a notable feature, as it was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time.
