Interesting fact
The ¼ Real coin from Mendoza (Argentine provinces) made of Silver weighing 0.84 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina. The country was facing high inflation and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new currency, the peso, in 1826. Despite this change, the ¼ Real coin continued to be used as a form of currency in some provinces, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of the Argentine people during times of crisis.
