Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Zacatecas is that it was made of brass, a metal that was commonly used for coinage in Mexico during the 19th century. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and it was chosen for coinage because it was durable, resistant to corrosion, and had a nice golden color. The use of brass for coins also made them easier to distinguish from silver coins, which were also in circulation at the time.
