Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 1 Real - Ferdinand VII (Proclamation coinage) 1808 from El Salvador made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1808, just a year after El Salvador had declared its independence from Spain, and it features an image of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the coat of arms of El Salvador on the other. Despite the tumultuous period in which it was minted, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
