Interesting fact
The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Guanajuato, made of Brass and weighing 13.85g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of economic turmoil in Mexico. The coin was issued during the Mexican Republic, specifically between 1856-1857, a period marked by political instability, civil wars, and foreign intervention. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely accepted form of payment, demonstrating the resilience of the Mexican people and their ability to adapt to difficult circumstances.
