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 minted during a time of political and economic change in Mexico. The coin was issued in 1836, just a few years after Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. At that time, the country was facing economic challenges and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new monetary system in 1837. The "Quarto/Quartilla" coin was part of this new system, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the State of Jalisco. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of Mexican history and a testament to the country's resilience and determination to establish a stable economy.
