Interesting fact
The 1 Real 1823 coin from Mendoza (Argentine provinces) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the period of the Argentine Confederation, which was a short-lived political entity that existed from 1831 to 1852. This coin was one of the few coins minted during this time, and its design features the coat of arms of Mendoza, which includes a condor, a symbol of power and strength in Argentine culture. Additionally, the coin's silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
