Interesting fact
The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Durango, made of Copper and weighing 7g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in Mexico during the 19th century, specifically in the state of Durango. It was a fractional coin of the Mexican peso, and its design featured the national coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. The use of copper as the material for this coin was significant because it was a more affordable and accessible metal than other materials used for coinage at the time, making it a more practical choice for everyday transactions.
