Comment

Interesting fact

The 50 Céntimos coin from Peru, which was minted between 1991 and 2001, features braille letters on its reverse side. This is unusual for a circulating coin, as braille is typically used on coins intended for use by visually impaired individuals. The inclusion of braille on this coin may have been a deliberate design choice to make it more accessible to a wider range of people.
