Interesting fact
The ½ Real (7 Pointed Sun) coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) 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's design and production were of high quality, featuring a beautiful 7-pointed sun on the obverse (front) side, and a crowned eagle on the reverse (back) side. The coin's silver content and weight also made it a valuable and reliable medium of exchange for the people of Córdoba and beyond.
