Interesting fact
The 2 Real (large type) 1843 coin from Chile made of Silver (.902) weighing 5.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Chile. The coin was issued during the presidency of Manuel Bulnes, who implemented policies that helped to modernize and stabilize the Chilean economy. Additionally, the coin features an image of the Chilean coat of arms on one side and the bust of a liberator on the other, which symbolizes Chile's struggle for independence and its commitment to liberty.
