Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from La Rioja (Argentine provinces) made of Silver (.875) 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 and political instability that lasted from 1814 to 1876. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, serving as a reminder of the country's rich history and economic development.
