Tymczasowa moneta z lat 1915-1923 została stworzona w celu ułatwienia konwersji z systemu reala na system dziesiętny, ponieważ do tego momentu Real i Peso były prawnym środkiem płatniczym, ale Real był stopniowo wycofywany. W przypadku większości frakcji łatwo było je przekonwertować, ale ponieważ system opierał się na 8, potrzebny był odpowiednik 1/8 peso, ta moneta 12,5 była odpowiedzią. Istnieją dwie odmiany tej monety. Ta na zdjęciu ma krótkie "1" w nominale na rewersie. Inna odmiana ma dłuższą "1", która rozciąga się równo z dolną częścią "2".

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Provisional coinage of 1915-1923 was made in order to facilitate conversion from the Real system to the decimal system, because up to that point Real and Peso were both legal tender, but the Real was being phased out. For most of fraction it was easy to convert them, but being a system based on 8, an 1/8 Peso equivalent was needed, this 12.5 coin was the answer. There are two varieties of this coin. The one pictured has a short "1" in the denomination on the reverse. Another variety exists with a longer "1" which extends even with the bottom of the "2" .
