Interesting fact

The 2 Reales coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Copper in 1812 is interesting because it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence against Spain, and it features the iconic image of the Mexican eagle on a cactus, which has become a symbol of Mexican independence and pride.
