Interesting fact

The 1 Real coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) made of Silver weighing 3.5g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the period of the Argentine Confederation (1831-1852), which was a time of political and economic instability in Argentina. Despite this, the coin still features the National Coat of Arms on one side and the value and year on the other, showcasing the country's efforts to establish a national identity and currency during this tumultuous period.
