Interesting fact

The ⅛ Real 1835 coin from Mendoza (Argentine provinces) made of Copper weighing 13 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina, and its design features the iconic image of the Argentine liberator, José de San Martín, on horseback. This coin was part of a series of currency reforms implemented by the Argentine government in the mid-1800s, aimed at stabilizing the country's economy and promoting trade. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Argentina.
