Interesting fact
The ⅛ Real "Octavo" coin from the State of Durango, made of Copper and weighing 3.5 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Mexico, specifically during the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) and the subsequent civil war (1821-1824). Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, showcasing the resilience and skill of the Mexican people during a period of great upheaval.
