Interesting fact
The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Jalisco, made of Copper and weighing 9.3499g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in Mexico during a time of great economic and political change. The coin was issued between 1828 and 1836, a period that saw the establishment of the Mexican Republic and the end of Spanish colonial rule. The coin's design features the Mexican coat of arms and the inscription "Quarto" or "Quartilla," indicating its value as a quarter of a real. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the everyday transactions of the time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
