Interesting fact
The 10 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1840-1844), was known as the "Isabelino" and was widely used throughout the Spanish Empire, including in the Americas. It was made of silver (.903) and weighed 13 grams, making it a substantial coin that was valued for its durability and purity. Despite its widespread use, the coin was eventually replaced by smaller, lighter coins as the standard currency, but it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
