Interesting fact

The ¼ Real coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) made of Silver 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 1841. As a result, the ¼ Real coin was only minted for a short period of time, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
