Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from Mexico, issued during the reign of Agustín I (1822-1823), has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.903), it was designed with a unique "tree-like" shape, which sets it apart from other coins of its time. This distinctive design was likely used to prevent counterfeiting and to make the coin more easily recognizable.
