Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real (Rafael Carrera) coin from Guatemala is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. Rafael Carrera, the president of Guatemala from 1844 to 1848 and again from 1851 to 1865, was a conservative leader who opposed the liberal reforms that were being implemented in the country. The coin was minted in 1866, just a year after Carrera's death, and it is believed that the coin was minted as a way to honor his legacy and to promote his conservative ideals. Despite the political tensions of the time, the coin remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and its unique design.
