Interesting fact
The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Durango, made of Copper and weighing 7g, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Maximilian I of Mexico, who was the only monarch of the Second Mexican Empire, ruling from 1864 to 1867. This coin was minted in 1866, during a time of political and social change in Mexico, and its design features the Mexican eagle on one side and the denomination and date on the other. Despite its age, this coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
