Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Peru, made of Silver (.903) and weighing 6.77g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of great change in Peru. The coin was minted during the period of Spanish colonial rule, but it was also used after Peru gained independence in 1821. This coin was a symbol of the country's transition from a colony to an independent nation.
