Interesting fact
The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Guanajuato, made of Copper and weighing 7g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico. The coin was issued in 1828-1829, shortly after Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. During this period, the country was facing economic challenges and political instability, which led to the issuance of various types of coins, including the ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla," to address the need for currency. Despite the challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to Mexico's resilience and determination to establish a stable economy and government.
