Interesting fact
The 8 Soles coin from Bolivia, minted between 1841 and 1848, has an interesting feature. It was made of silver (.903) and weighed 27 grams, which was unusually high for a coin of its denomination at that time. This coin was also known as the "Bolivian 8 Soles" and was widely used in trade and commerce in South America during the 19th century.
