Interesting fact

The 1 Real coin from the State of Oaxaca, minted in 1813 as part of the Insurgent Coinage, is interesting because it was created during a time of political and social upheaval in Mexico. The coin was minted by the insurgent government of Oaxaca, which had declared independence from Spain in 1811, and was used as a means of financing the rebellion. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, featuring an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on one side and the coat of arms of Oaxaca on the other. This coin serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Oaxaca during a time of great change and uncertainty.
