Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from Mexico, issued between 1812 and 1813, features an image of the National Congress building on one side and the Insurgent coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during the Mexican War of Independence and was used as a symbol of resistance against Spanish rule. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted due to its irregular minting and limited circulation. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some specimens selling for thousands of dollars.
