Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Venezuela. The Republican coinage was introduced in 1811, after Venezuela declared its independence from Spain, and the ½ Real coin was one of the first coins to be minted under this new system. The coin's design features the national emblem of Venezuela, which includes a shield with the words "República de Venezuela" (Republic of Venezuela) inscribed above it, and a bundle of arrows and a sword below it, symbolizing the country's commitment to freedom and independence. The coin's silver content and small weight also make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
