Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real (Republic of Colombia) 1827-1836 coin from Colombia is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country's history. The coin was issued during the Gran Colombia period, which was a short-lived republic that encompassed present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. This period was marked by political instability, economic struggles, and conflicts with neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation for several years and is now a sought-after collector's item.
