Interesting fact
The ⅛ Real "Octavo" coin from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued between 1833 and 1835, a period known as the "Reform War," which was a conflict between the conservative government and the liberal forces who sought to modernize Mexico. Despite the challenges of this time, the coin was still widely used and remains a valuable collector's item today.
