Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1828 ¼ Real coin from El Salvador is that it was part of a provisional coinage issued during a time of political instability in the country. The coin was made of silver (.903) and was intended to serve as a temporary solution to the lack of official currency, until a new coinage system could be implemented. Despite its provisional nature, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
