Peso puertorriqueño genuino (original) de 5 centavos. La moneda está montada a mano en plata esterlina .925. La moneda original es de plata ley .920.

¿Sabías que Puerto Rico tuvo su propia moneda antes de la invasión estadounidense? El peso puertorriqueño sólo fue producido entre los años 1895-1898. En el 1898 cuando invadió Estados Unidos, el peso puertorriqueño fue reemplazado por el dólar estadounidense. Aunque de igual valor internacional, cada peso puertorriqueño se cambió a 60 centavos por cada dólar estadounidense. En otros términos, todo puertorriqueño perdió un 40% de su capital durante dicha conversión.

Con 40% menos de capital, los agricultores se vieron obligados a pedir dinero prestado a los bancos estadounidenses. Sin restricciones de la Ley de Usura, el Banco Colonial Americano cobró tasas de interés tan altas que, en solo una década (para 1910), los agricultores habían dejado de pagar sus préstamos y los bancos procedieron a adueñarse de sus tierras. Este proceso de expropiación culmina en la creación de las centrales azucareras, las cuales crean un monopolio estadounidense sobre la producción y exportación azucarera en Puerto Rico.

Estas monedas representan otro lado de la historia que los libros de la escuela quisieran esconder - representan a un Puerto Rico próspero el cual (a pesar de ser colonia española) poco a poco iba ganando más autonomía económica - hasta que invadió Estados Unidos.

Genuine 5-cent Puerto Rican peso, mounted in .925 sterling silver.

Did you know that Puerto Rico had its own currency before the US invasion? The Puerto Rican peso was only produced between the years 1895-1898. In 1898, when the United States invaded, the Puerto Rican peso was replaced by the US dollar. Although of equal international value, each Puerto Rican peso was exchanged for 60 cents per US dollar. In other words, every Puerto Rican lost 40% of his capital during said conversion.

With 40% less capital, farmers were forced to borrow money from American banks. Unrestricted by the Usury Act, the American Colonial Bank charged interest rates so high that, within just a decade (by 1910), farmers had defaulted on their loans and the banks proceeded to seize their land. This expropriation process culminates in the creation of sugar mills, which create a US monopoly on the production and export of sugar mills in Puerto Rico.

These coins represent another side of history that school books would like to hide - they represent a prosperous Puerto Rico which (despite being a Spanish colony) was gradually gaining more economic autonomy - until it invaded the United States.

Perfectly Lightweight
I have very sensitive skin and tend to get oily in the summer, so I was looking for something lightweight and this delivered! It has a mild scent and feels great on my skin. It also keeps my skin moisturized without causing any irritation or breakouts.

Non greasy moisturiser for winter
Avene has been a well known brand all around Europe, Australia and Asia; easily accessible from most Chemists. We haven't tried their products before as I had the habit of picking skincare based on my friends' recommendations and Avene was not in their radar. From our last trip overseas, I decided to pick this up to try and immediately fell in love with it! It is non greasy yet very effective in dry months. Price point is also reasonable and I have re-ordered on Amazon since! Highly recommend it.

Good for combo skin. Scented.
This moisturizer has a lightweight texture. It reminds me of a gel-cream. It does have a floral/powdery/fresh scent. It doesn’t bother me that much but a lot of people don’t like scented face products. I took off one star for the fact that it’s scented because I feel it’s unnecessary. Especially since this moisturizer is labeled for sensitive skin. I also feel like it is pricey for the small 1.3 floz bottle. It seems a bit basic for $40 doesn’t it? I have combo/acne prone skin and I am currently on prescription tretinoin/hydroquinone cream from my dermatologist. I needed a face moisturizer that is light and wouldn’t clog my pores but also super hydrating. My skin is very sensitive right now and I had no issues with this moisturizer. I felt it provided the perfect amount of hydration without being greasy and heavy feeling on my face. I don’t like heavy moisturizers. The hydrance rich version is way too heavy for me. The finish of this light moisturizer is soft and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling, like some face moisturizers do. I can wear this year round. It is hard to find the perfect balance of hydration without being greasy. Overall I will keep purchasing it because I am extremely picky about the texture of my face moisturizers and this one is perfect for me. It also wears well under sunscreen and makeup. I do think it’s a little overpriced and the fragrance is unnecessary. Overall it works for me but it’s very important to know about the floral fragrance. The fragrance does go away after a little while but it is present upon application and also minutes after. If you don’t mind the fragrance and have combo, acne prone skin like I do, you will probably like the texture. If you don’t want to pay the money for this avene, try vanicream face moisturizer. The cerave pm face moisturizer is also kinda similar. The vanicream face moisturizer being the most similar to avene light, in my opinion. Vanicream is also unscented and a fraction of the price. Make sure it is the one specifically for the face, without sunscreen. I was not sent this product for free and this is not a paid review. All honest opinions here.
