Comment
In all, 8,000 were minted for each date, with the 1817 coins withdrawn from circulation and replaced by 1818 coins.Interesting fact
The ½ Real (Texas Jola) coin from the Province of Texas (Mexican States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Mexico, specifically during the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. The coin's design features the iconic image of a jola, a type of local bird, on one side and the Mexican eagle on the other, symbolizing the region's rich natural resources and its connection to the Mexican nation. Despite its historical significance, the coin's value today is relatively low, with some specimens selling for around $20-$50 USD.
