Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1833 El Salvador 1 Real coin is that it was part of a provisional coinage issue during a time of political instability in the country. The coin was minted in Mexico City and was intended to be used as a temporary solution to address a lack of small denomination coins in circulation. Despite its provisional nature, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its unique history and limited mintage.
