Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1848 1 Real coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) is that it features a unique design element - a 9-pointed sun on the obverse side, which represents the nine provinces of Argentina that were united at the time of its minting. This design was specifically created to symbolize the unity and independence of the provinces, and it has become a distinctive feature of Argentine coinage.
