Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1829 Guatemalan 1 Real coin is that it was part of a series of coins issued during a time of political and economic turmoil in Central America. The Central American Republic, which consisted of present-day Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, was facing economic difficulties and political instability in the 1820s. As a result, the government decided to issue a new currency, known as the "provisional coinage," which included the 1 Real coin made of silver. This coin was intended to help stabilize the economy and facilitate trade within the region. Despite the challenges faced by the Central American Republic at the time, the 1 Real coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
