Interesting fact

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 Mexico's war for independence from Spain. This coinage was meant to finance the military efforts of the insurgents and was minted in secret locations to avoid detection by the Spanish authorities. The fact that it was made of silver (.903) adds to its value and historical significance, as silver was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
