Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real - Ferdinand VII (Royalist Coinage) 1810-1811 from State of Zacatecas made of Silver (.903) is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Mexico. The coin was issued by the Spanish colonial government, but the country was in the midst of a struggle for independence, which would eventually be achieved in 1821. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Mexico and the struggles it faced in its early years.
