Interesting fact

The 1 Real 1823 coin from Santiago del Estero (Argentine provinces) made of Billon weighing 2.7 g is interesting because it was minted during the early years of Argentina's independence, specifically in 1823, when the country was still a young nation. This coin is a representation of the country's rich history and its efforts to establish its own currency and monetary system after gaining independence from Spain.
