Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Real 1827 coin from Buenos Aires is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Argentina. The country had recently gained independence from Spain and was in the process of establishing its own government and currency system. The coin's design, which features an image of a liberty cap and a bundle of arrows, symbolizes the struggle for independence and the unity of the provinces. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin reflects the country's efforts to establish a stable economy and currency system.
