Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from La Rioja (Argentine provinces) made of Silver (.750) weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina, specifically during the period of civil wars (1814-1876) that followed the country's independence from Spain. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, showcasing the skill of the mint's engravers and the attention to detail that was put into its production.
