Interesting fact

The Pattern ½ Real coin was minted in 1848 as a trial strike, and only 200 pieces were produced. It was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists. Its rarity and historical significance have driven up its value, and it's considered one of the most valuable coins in Colombian numismatics.
