One interesting fact about the 1 Real (Type VII Countermark) ND (1849-1857) coin from Costa Rica is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the administration of President Juan Rafael Mora Porras, who was facing a severe economic crisis and struggled to maintain stability in the country. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation for several years and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
