Interesting fact
The 1839 ½ Real coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) features the National Coat of Arms on one side and the value "1/2" on the other. It was made of silver and weighs 1.8 grams. Interestingly, this coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Argentina, and its production was discontinued after a few years due to the country's shift towards decimalization. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
