Comment
Colony San JoseInteresting fact
The ½ Real coin from Entre Ríos (Argentine provinces) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina. The country was facing a period of high inflation and political instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the "real" in 1867. The ½ real coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable resource at the time. Despite the challenges faced by the country, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, and its design and history continue to fascinate numismatists.
