Interesting fact
The ⅛ Real "Octavo" coin from the State of Durango, made of Copper and weighing 3.5g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Mexico, specifically during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Despite the challenges of that era, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, serving as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico.
