Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1852-1855), was made of silver with a purity of .900, which means it contained 90% silver and 10% other metals. This coin was a standard circulation coin during that time and was widely used in Spain and its colonies. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively lightweight, weighing only 1.3 grams. This is interesting because it shows that even coins made of precious metals like silver can have varying weights and purity levels, depending on the historical context and minting practices.
