Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Real (Santa Marta) ND (1812-1813) coin from the City of Santa Marta (Colombian states) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Colombia. The coin was issued during the period of Gran Colombia, which was a short-lived republic that encompassed much of northern South America, including present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this time of economic upheaval.
