Interesting fact
The 1811 Mexican 1 Real coin made of copper is interesting because it was issued during the Mexican War of Independence, when the Supreme National Congress of America, an insurgent government, established its own coinage system to challenge the Spanish colonial authority. This coin was part of that effort and was used to finance the rebellion against Spanish rule.
