Interesting fact

The ⅛ Real coin from the Municipality of Uruapán in the State of Michoacán, Mexico, was made of silver and had a unique design. On one side, it featured the national coat of arms, while on the other side, it had an image of a local fruit called "guayabilla" (a type of guava). This coin was minted in 1859 and weighed 6.63 grams. It's a rare and interesting piece of numismatic history!
