Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Real "Cuartillo" coin from the State of Cundinamarca is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Colombia. The coin was issued in 1814-1815, shortly after the country declared its independence from Spain in 1810. During this period, the young Colombian nation was facing challenges such as political instability, economic struggles, and conflicts with neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, the Cuartillo coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in the region, reflecting the resilience and determination of the Colombian people during this time.
