1 Real American Congress - Insurgent coinage ND

The 1 Real coin from Mexico, issued in 1813, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins minted by the American Congress, also known as the Insurgent coinage, during the Mexican War of Independence. These coins were minted in secret, using silver from the mines of the Sierra Madre mountains, and were used to finance the rebellion against Spanish rule. The coin features the symbol of the eagle on the obverse side, and the letters "ND" on the reverse side, which stand for "Nueva España" (New Spain). Despite being minted in secret, these coins were widely accepted and used throughout Mexico, and are now highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
