¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla"

The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Sinaloa, made of Brass and weighing 7g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in Mexico during the 19th century, specifically in the state of Sinaloa. It was part of a decimal system of currency that was introduced in Mexico in 1847, and it was equivalent to one-quarter of a real, which was the basic unit of currency at the time. The use of brass as the material for the coin was a common practice during this period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and durable metal. Today, coins like this are highly sought after by collectors and can be valuable additions to any numismatic collection.
