½ Real Insurgent Coinage

The ½ Real coin from the State of Oaxaca, minted in 1813 as part of the Insurgent Coinage, is interesting because it was created during a time of political turmoil in Mexico. The Insurgent Coinage was minted by the rebellious forces fighting against the Spanish colonial rule, and the ½ Real coin was one of the denominations issued during this period. Despite being minted in a time of conflict, the coin still maintains a certain level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Oaxaca during a difficult period in their history.
